Belchior - Apenas um rapaz latino-americano

Um livro revelador sobre uma figura fascinante da mpb que merece ser mais conhecida do público. Um artista às vezes enigmático, sempre refinado e imensamente popular. Caderno de imagens em cores. Discografia completa. A morte de Belchior, em abril de 2017, foi uma comoção nacional. Dez anos antes, o artista desaparecera. Foi a partir do mistério desse sumiço que Jotabê Medeiros deu início à pesquisa para um livro sobre o autor de clássicos como "Velha Roupa Colorida", "Alucinação" e "Como nossos pais". Realizou dezenas de entrevistas com parceiros musicais, amigos, familiares e produtores de seus discos. Apenas um rapaz latino-americano traz períodos pouco conhecidos da vida de Belchior, como os anos em que passou em um mosteiro, na adolescência. Foi ali que o artista travou seu primeiro contato com a literatura e a filosofia e habituou-se ao silêncio e à introspecção que seriam características marcantes até o fim da vida.

  • Publisher: Routledge

Sean Stroud examines how and why Música Popular Brasileira (MPB) has come to have such a high status, and why the musical tradition (including MPB) within Brazil has been defended with such vigour for so long. He emphasizes the importance of musical nationalism as an underlying ideology to discussions about Brazilian popular music since the 1920s, and the key debate on so-called 'cultural invasion' in Brazil. The roles of those responsible for the construction of the idea of MPB are examined in detail. Stroud analyses the increasingly close relationship that has developed between television and popular music in Brazil with particular reference to the post-1972 televised song festivals. He g...

  • Publisher: Springer

Studying the case of Latin American cinema, this book analyzes one of the most public - and most exportable- forms of postcolonial national culture to argue that millennial era globalization demands entirely new frameworks for thinking about the relationship between politics, culture, and economic policies. Concerns that globalization would bring the downfall of national culture were common in the 1990s as economies across the globe began implementing neoliberal, free market policies and abolishing state protections for culture industries. Simultaneously, new technologies and the increased mobility of people and information caused others to see globalization as an era of heightened connectiv...
