Notes

  • Rate limiting — the actor crawls at 3 concurrent requests to respect Galeria do Samba's small server. Full-archive runs require a generous timeout (4 hours default).
  • Data completeness — older records (pre-1980) may lack composers, intérprete, and technical sheet fields; the site itself has incomplete coverage for those years.
  • Language — all data is in Brazilian Portuguese with full diacritics (UTF-8).
