Refazenda connects a remarkable album by one of the 20th and 21st
centuries' great musicians to a dazzling, often unexpected, array
of people and places spread across the globe from Brazil to England
to Chile to Japan. Critics and fans often project (or impose)
desires and interpretations onto Gil that don't seem to fit. This
book explores why familiar political and musical categories so
often fall flat and explains why serendipity may instead be the
best way to approach this mercurial album and the unrepeatable
artist who created it. Based on years of listening to, studying,
and teaching about Gil, and the author's own encounters with the
album around the world, this book argues that Refazenda does, in
fact, contain radical messages, though they rarely appear in the
form, shape, or places that we might expect. The book also includes
the first English-language translations of the album's lyrics,
never-discussed-before 1970s Japanese liner notes, and a recounting
of a forgotten moment when censors detained Gil during the album's
debut tour. 33 1/3 Global, a series related to but independent from
33 1/3, takes the format of the original series of short,
music-basedbooks 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.
