 The
Brazilian Sound : Samba, Bossa Nova, and the Popular Music of
Brazil by
Chris McGowan, Ricardo Pessanha
Of all world
music varieties, Brazilian music is among the most vital, consistent
and compelling. McGowan and Pessanha nail their subject cold in
this book -- the most comprehensive omnibus available on the subject
of Brazilian music. From MPB to Milton, it's all here!
This encyclopedic
work includes hundreds of photos, complete historical information
on all styles, and extended discographies ideal for starting and
growing your own world-class Brazilian CD collection.
I picked this
book up on a whim -- and 100 CDs later, I'm grateful to the authors
for broadening my knowledge of this exceptional music with their
extraordinary book! (Amazon.com)
