This is the extraordinary story of Joseph Antonio Emidy, an early 19th-century musician who was kidnapped from his home in Guinea, Africa and sold into slavery. A very unusual fate awaited Joseph; he was taken to Brazil, then Portugal, where his "master" discovered his outstanding musical talent and encouraged its development. But the story doesn't end there; Joseph's life would take some unexpected twists and turns before he eventually achieved his freedom. The book is written in English and translated into Spanish, with every chapter in English followed by the corresponding Spanish version. Between both, there is a short list of keywords to facilitate reading and learning. Ideal for both English and Spanish learners who want to expand their vocabulary and enjoy a fascinating tale based on a true story at the same time.
