Brazilian popular music is widely celebrated for its inventive
amalgams of styles and sounds. "Cariocas," native residents of Rio
de Janeiro, think of their city as particularly conducive to
musical mixture, given its history as a hub of Brazilian media and
culture. In "Contemporary Carioca," the ethnomusicologist Frederick
Moehn introduces a generation of Rio-based musicians who
collaboratively have reinvigorated Brazilian genres, such as samba
and "maracatu," through juxtaposition with international
influences, including rock, techno, and funk. Moehn highlights the
creativity of individual artists, including Marcos Suzano, Lenine,
Pedro Luis, Fernanda Abreu, and Paulinho Moska. He describes how
these artists manage their careers, having reclaimed some control
from record labels. Examining the specific meanings that their
fusions have in the Carioca scene, he explains that musical mixture
is not only intertwined with nationalist discourses of
miscegenation, but also with the experience of being middle-class
in a country confronting neoliberal models of globalization. At the
same time, he illuminates the inseparability of race, gender,
class, place, national identity, technology, and expressive
practice in Carioca music and its making. Moehn offers vivid
depictions of Rio musicians as they creatively combine and
reconcile local realities with global trends and exigencies.
