Evaluate the drafted changes
The article is essentially about Brazilian Samba. It talks about where it comes from, how it came about, how it helps to shape the culture in Brazil, and so forth. I believe this article is well written and structured. It has its topic/focus and the author does a good way of introducing what the topic is. The break down after has a good format and seems to be organized by through a time line starting with the history of Samba, how it has African roots, Samba, currently, in Brazil, and then it goes off to conclude the article.

Content
The article's content seems to be pretty direct and focused. At no point does the article mention things that may make you question what the topic is. The content seems to be up to date. One thing that is noticed is that it only goes from the history of Samba to how it is used in Carnivals. There's not much information outside of that so it seems a bit restricted.

Tone and Balance
The article is informative. There is no argument, no aggressiveness, no persuasion. It strictly follows a flow of being informative and neutral alongside that. I'd say a good article if you need further information on this topic or want to use it as a source.

Sources and References
Before even digging into the article you can see a section at the end of the article that is dedicated to all sources and references which is good. Seems to follow the right format and there is a decent amount of sources that the author has used to help make up their draft. They are reliable sources and seem to support the article and it's information well.

Organization
Again, the article seems to follow a good introduction first, body paragraphs next, conclusion as followed, and citations are ending the article format. It is organized and nice to look at. There is a good flow and nothing seems out of place.

Images
The author did provide some pictures that go well with the article. It helps the reader to get a visual of what is worn in Samba, how it looks, and what the carnivals look like as well and just how popular the dance is.

Overall Impression
I enjoyed this article, it wasn't crazy long to the point where it is draining to read, but gets straight to the point. Seems very professional and like it would be a good source for research. Very nicely done.
