Download or read book Bossa Nova written by Ruy Castro and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bossa nova is one of the most popular musical genres in the world. Songs such as “The Girl from Ipanema” (the fifth most frequently played song in the world), “The Waters of March,” and “Desafinado” are known around the world. Bossa Nova—a number-one bestseller when originally published in Brazil as Chega de Saudade—is a definitive history of this seductive music. Based on extensive interviews with Antonio Carlos Jobim, Jo+o Gilberto, and all the major musicians and their friends, Bossa Nova explains how a handful of Rio de Janeiro teenagers changed the face of popular culture around the world. Now, in this outstanding translation, the full flavor of Ruy Castro’s wisecracking, chatty Portuguese comes through in a feast of detail. Along the way he introduces a cast of unforgettable characters who turned Gilberto’s singular vision into the sound of a generation.

Book Synopsis The Brazilian Sound by : Chris McGowan
Download or read book The Brazilian Sound written by Chris McGowan and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the second International Song Festival in 1967, Milton Nascimento had three songs accepted for competition. He had no intention of performing them--he hated the idea of intense competition. In fact, Nascimento might never have appeared at all if Eumir Deodato hadn't threatened not to write the arrangements for his songs if he didn't perform at least two of them. Nascimento went on to win the festival's best performer award, all three of his songs were included soon afterward on his first album, and the rest is history. This is only one anecdote from The Brazilian Sound, an encyclopedic survey of Brazilian popular music that ranges over samba, bossa nova, MPB, jazz and instrumental music and tropical rock, as well as the music of the Northeast. The authors have interviewed a wide variety of performers like Nascimento, Gilberto Gil, Carlinhos Brown, and Airto Moreira, U.S. fans, like Lyle Mays, George Duke, and Paul Winter, executive André Midani; and music historian Zuza Homem de Mello, just to name a few. First published in 1991, The Brazilian Sound received enthusiastic attention both in the United States and abroad. For this new edition, the authors have expanded their examination of the historical roots of Brazilian music, added new photographs, amplified their discussion of social issues like racism, updated the maps, and added a new final chapter highlighting the most recent trends in Brazilian music. The authors have expanded their coverage of the axé music movement and included profiles of significant emerging artists like Marisa Monte, Chico Cesar, and Daniela Mercury. Clearly written and lavishly illustrated with 167 photographs, The Brazilian Sound is packed with facts, explanations, and fascinating stories. For the Latin music aficionado or the novice who wants to learn more, the book also provides a glossary, a bibliography, and an extensive discography containing 1,000 entries. Author note: Chris McGowan was a contributing writer and columnist for Billboard from 1984 to 1996 and pioneered that publication's coverage of Brazilian and world music in the mid-1980s. He has written about the arts and other subjects for Musician, The Beat, the Hollywood Reporter, the Los Angeles Times, L. A Weekly, and the Los Angeles Reader. He is the author of Entertainment in the Cyber Zone: Exploring the Interactive Universe of Multimedia (1995) and was a contributor to The Encyclopedia of Latin American History and Culture (1996). Ricardo Pessanha has worked as a teacher, writer, editor, and management executive for CCAA, one of Brazil's leading institutes of English-language education. He has served as a consultant to foreign journalists and scholars on numerous cultural projects relating to Brazil. He has contributed articles about Brazilian music to The Beat and other publications.

Download or read book Bossa Mundo written by K. E. Goldschmitt and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bossa mundo: Brazilian music in transnational media industries focuses on watershed moments of musical breakthrough across the world over more than a half century--from bossa nova in the 1960s through to the streaming music era. Reexamining the political meaning of mass-mediated music, author K.E. Goldschmitt demonstrates that the mediation of Brazilian music in an incresingly crowded transnational marketplace has lasting consequences for Brazilian creative output. Featuring interviews with key figures in the transnational circulation of Brazilian music, and discussions of well-known musicians and artists who redefine what it means to be a Brazilian musician in the twenty-first century, Bossa mundo shows the pernicious effects of branding diversity on musicians and audiences alike.--Page [4] of cover.

Book Synopsis João Gilberto and Stan Getz's Getz/Gilberto by : Bryan McCann
Download or read book João Gilberto and Stan Getz's Getz/Gilberto written by Bryan McCann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most die-hard Brazilian music fans would argue that Getz/Gilberto, the iconic 1964 album featuring "The Girl from Ipanema," is not the best bossa nova record. Yet we've all heard "The Girl from Ipanema" as background music in a thousand anodyne settings, from cocktail parties to telephone hold music. So how did Getz/Gilberto become the Brazilian album known around the world, crossing generational and demographic divides? Bryan McCann traces the history and making of Getz/Gilberto as a musical collaboration between leading figure of bossa nova João Gilberto and Philadelphia-born and New York-raised cool jazz artist Stan Getz. McCann also reveals the contributions of the less-understood participants (Astrud Gilberto's unrehearsed, English-language vocals; Creed Taylor's immaculate production; Olga Albizu's arresting, abstract-expressionist cover art) to show how a perfect balance of talents led to not just a great album, but a global pop sensation. And he explains how Getz/Gilberto emerged from the context of Bossa Nova Rio de Janeiro, the brief period when the subtle harmonies and aching melodies of bossa nova seemed to distill the spirit of a modernizing, sensuous city. 33 1/3 Global, a series related to but independent from 33 1/3, takes the format of the original series of short, music-based books 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.

Book excerpt: "The popularity of The Bongo Book in addition to the high demand for resources on bongos prompted this second and more advanced book on bongo drumming. This follow-up reveals that the passion for the bongos is as great now as it was in the 1960's. Now, two more generations are discovering the joy of bongo drumming. What was lacking in the three decades were resources, a network and teaching material to guide students and hobbyists in the exploration of this fascinating instrument. The advent of the Internet with its web sites, newsgroups, and faster communication along with the flame and revival of bongo mania. Bongo Drumming is simply another step in the educational development of the bongos and an attempt to increase the awareness of this seemingly simple, yet immensely complex instrument. 2 CD's included."
