At the height of Tim Maia's soaring fame, he joined a radical,
extraterrestrial-obsessed cult and created two plus albums of some
of Brazil's-and the globe's-best funk and soul music. This book
explores the career of the man often hailed as the James Brown or
Barry White of Brazil, and the time of his radical transformation
from a musician notorious for hedonistic living to a devoted
follower of Manoel Jacinto Coelho's Rational Culture. After
suddenly joining Coelho's cult in 1974 (which started first as an
offshoot of the mystical Afro-Brazilian religion Umbanda), Maia
gave up drugs and alcohol, threw away his material possessions, and
released Racional Vols. 1 & 2 in the attempt to convert the
entirety of Brazil and the world to the revelation of Rational
Culture. Thayer explores this strange, brief, yet incredibly
prolific period of Maia's life wherein the reigning soul and funk
artist of Brazil produced two albums, an EP, and a recently
unearthed tape containing almost another full album of funky jams
laced with spiritual content and scripture. For just as quickly as
Maia became entranced with Coelho did he become disillusioned with
the cult, disavowing and destroying everything having to do with
that experience and refusing to speak of it for the rest of his
life. 33 1/3 Global, a series related to but independent from 33
1/3, takes the format of the original series of short, music-based
books and brings the focus to music throughout the world. With
initial volumes focusing on Japanese and Brazilian music, the
series will also include volumes on the popular music of
Australia/Oceania, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and more.
