This site is made for foreigners who admire the Brazilian music but have difficult to access information and guides in their native language.
Brazil is the 5th biggest country of the world; almost as big as Europe. So, should be seen, as a "continent" with many diversities.
It is the most mixed country of the world, composed by Indigenous, Europeans, Africans and Asiatics (We have, for example, the highest number of Japaneses descendants in the world). All these people that composed the country brought different types of musicality, that made the Brazilian music very rich.
Brazil has also hundreds rhythms, being more diversified than the american music. However is known internationally mainly because of the Samba and the Bossa Nova.
The Samba was promoted nationally and internationally by the government, as Brazilian representative identity. The Bossa Nova also became famous in all the world. But what about the others hundreds rhythms We have ?!
Realizing this selected vision, I do here short presentations of others musicians, rhythms and genres that are important part of our history, but are not known internationally.
CRITIC
Critics are usually comfortable behind a table emphasizing the problems instead of the good points. Criticize everybody and do not produce anything. While they complain, others musicians are making history: The music is not guided by the critics!
So, the proposal of this site is to take distance of this style of criticism and highlight the good contributions of the Brazilian music history.
Despite writing about consecrated musicians, always try to bring the new generation.
