Rodas Negras
Impossível registrar os incontáveis agentes anônimos que contribuíram das mais diversas formas para a preservação e transformação por que passaram as diversas práticas da cultura afro-brasileira, assim como para a transformação da imagem e identidade do Brasil ao longo do século XX.

Bossa Nova

Sus protagonistas son João Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes, y la legión de jóvenes a los que sedujeron con el encanto de unas canciones que salieron de Brasil a conquistar el mundo.

Armed with bare-midriff dresses, platform shoes, and her iconic f...
