An inspiring mission to rescue young people from drugs and violence
with music
At a time when interest in Brazilian culture has reached an
all-time high, and the stories of one person's ability to improve
the lives of others has captured so many hearts, this unique book
takes readers to the frontlines of a battle raging over control of
the nation's poorest areas. "Culture Is Our Weapon" tells the story
of Grupo Cultural AfroReggae, a Rio-based organization employing
music and an appreciation for black culture to inspire residents of
the favelas, or shantytowns, to resist the drugs that are ruining
their neighborhoods. This is an inspiring look at an artistic
explosion and the best and worst of Brazilian society.
