About
Samba is video messaging with a twist. It turns traditional communication on its head, by recording your friends reaction to your video message, and automatically sending it back to you. With Samba, you can be witty, emotional, sexy, funny and creative. But more than that, you can just be yourself. It turns your casual moments into something very special. Record a video, flick to send it and see your friends reaction as they view your message. Their reaction is recorded automatically and sent back to you.
