Música Brasileira

By Claus Schreiner

Book Overview

Brazilian music is more than a soundtrack for the streets and dancehalls of Rio, more than the cool bossas ans sambas of the late-night jazz clubs. It is a music of the people. Musica Brasileira takes the rader through the dense and intricate landscapes of Brazilian popular music.

Solid Guide to pre-1970 Brazilian music

This is a responsible and useful (if a bit dull) guide to Brazilian popular music of this century up to the early 1970s (when it was first published). It's very weak on the last twenty years, however. A good resource, but not as good as "The Brazilian Sound" (Temple University Press), which is much more comprehensive and also more fun to read.
