The Berimbau
The Brazilian berimbau, a musical bow, is most commonly associated with the energetic martial art/dance/game of capoeira. This study explores the berimbau's stature from the 1950s to the present in diverse musical genres including bossa nova, samba-reggae, MPB (Popular Brazilian Music), electronic dance music, Brazilian art music, and more. Berimbau music spans oral and recorded historical traditions, connects Latin America to Africa, juxtaposes the sacred and profane, and unites nationally constructed notions of Brazilian identity across seemingly impenetrable barriers. The Berimbau: Soul of Brazilian Music is the first work that considers the berimbau beyond the context of capoeira, and explores the bow's emergence as a national symbol. Throughout, this book engages and analyzes intersections of musical traditions in the Black Atlantic, North American popular music, and the rise of global jazz. This book is an accessible introduction to Brazilian music for musicians, Latin American scholars, capoeira practitioners, and other people who are interested in Brazil's music and culture.
Do Quilombo que Eu Vim: Histórias de Vida e a Constituição da Identidade em Lagoa do Zeca
Esta obra trata sobre temas de grande impacto social, como memória e sociedade, tendo como objeto a história da comunidade quilombola Lagoa do Zeca, situada no município de Canarana, no interior da Bahia. A autora avoca para si a missão de recolher narrativas de quatro velhos e velhas da sua comunidade e construir um acervo de base para a preservação da memória daquele lugar. Como filha da comunidade, sua escrita não se restringe à observação e a relato, mas segue o movimento de escrevivência ensinado por Conceição Evaristo: são memórias de si e dos seus, em fala-performance que reverbera as vozes dos que, embora silenciados historicamente, criaram estratégias de manter viva...

Bossa Nova
Bossa nova is one of the most popular musical genres in the world. Songs such as “The Girl from Ipanema” (the fifth most frequently played song in the world), “The Waters of March,” and “Desafinado” are known around the world. Bossa Nova—a number-one bestseller when originally published in Brazil as Chega de Saudade—is a definitive history of this seductive music. Based on extensive interviews with Antonio Carlos Jobim, Jo+o Gilberto, and all the major musicians and their friends, Bossa Nova explains how a handful of Rio de Janeiro teenagers changed the face of popular culture around the world. Now, in this outstanding translation, the full flavor of Ruy Castro’s wisecracking, chatty Portuguese comes through in a feast of detail. Along the way he introduces a cast of unforgettable characters who turned Gilberto’s singular vision into the sound of a generation.
