Entertaining Lisbon
Entertaining Lisbon explores Portuguese entertainment as a form of negotiation between local, national, and transnational influences on identity. Connecting gender, class, ethnicity, and technology with theatrical repertoires, street sounds, and domestic music making, author João Silva investigates popular entertainment in Portugal and its connections with modern life and the rise of nationalism. An essential contribution to the literature on Portuguese music written in the English language, Entertaining Lisbon is a critical study for scholars and students of musicology interested in Portugal, and popular and theatrical musics, as well as historical ethnomusicologists, cultural historians, and urban planning researchers interested in the development of material culture.

Music and Cosmopolitanism
In Music and Cosmopolitanism, Cristina Magaldi examines music making in a past globalized world. This volume focuses on one city, Rio de Janeiro, and how it became part of a larger world through music and performance. Magaldi describes a process of creating connections beyond national borders, one that is familiar to contemporary city residents, but which was already dominant at the turn of the 20th century, as new technological developments led to alternative ways of making and experiencing music.
O rasga
Investigador incansável da cultura popular, Tinhorão apresenta neste livro o mais recente fruto de suas pesquisas: o rasga, gênero de canto e dança surgido entre os negros de Lisboa e até aqui ignorado pelos estudiosos da música. Em um esforço quase arqueológico, o autor reconstituiu a trajetória do gênero desde seu surgimento, no século XIX, até registros mais recentes, que podem ser ouvidos no CD que acompanha o volume.
