A landmark in Brazilian music scholarship, A Respectable Spell
introduces English-speaking readers to the rich history of samba
from its nineteenth century origins to its emergence as a
distinctive genre in the 1930s. Merging storytelling with theory,
Carlos Sandroni profiles performers, composers, and others while
analyzing the complex ideologies their music can communicate in
their lyrics and rhythms, and how the meaning of songs and musical
genres can vary depending on social and historical context. He also
delves into lundu, modinha, maxixe, and many other genres of
Brazilian music; presents the little-heard voices and perspectives
of marginalized Brazilians like the African-descended sambistas;
and presents a study in step with the types of decolonial
approaches to ethnomusicology that have since emerged, treating the
people being studied not only as makers of music but also of
knowledge. Incisive and comprehensive, A Respectable Spell tells
the compelling story of an iconic Brazilian musical genre.
