More and more people are discovering Brazil's fascinating culture,
especially the striking exuberance and inventiveness of its popular
music. In Brazilian Jive, David Treece uncovers the genius of
Brazilian song, both as a sophisticated, articulate art form
crafted out of the dialogue between music and language and as a
powerfully eloquent expression of the country's social and
political history. Focusing on the cultural struggles of
music-making in Brazil, this book traces their journey from the
rise of samba through the bossa nova revolution of the late 1950s
to the emergence of rap in the 1990s. It describes how Brazilian
music grew out of the pain and dispossession of slavery and,
inspired by African traditions, how it celebrates new ways of
moving freely in time and space. Resonant with the rhythms and
tones of the modern, the Brazilian soundscape also expresses the
country's dissonances and contradictions, while the conversation
between melody and word often signifies a larger dialogue between
its artistic and political cultures. Looking deep into those
cultures, Brazilian Jive provides fresh insight into how the life
of a nation has been performed in some of the world's most
remarkable music.
