How To Transform Into A Wolf

Une recette pour aimer la Musique Brésilienne


En faisant le
de la tour de la musique sphère brésilienne, j'ai Réalise that notre riche musique n'a plus de en dehors du Brésil representants, tels Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Gilberto , Vinicius de Moraes, Baden Powell, Carmen Miranda and Elis Regina. Du coup, l'ignorance our music reign.

In France, my adopted country, curiosity about the MPB (Brazilian popular music, ie varieties), samba, choro and bossa nova is still almost zero. Moreover, the country where there is the biggest wealth in terms of world music, but only 5% to 7% of the population interested in these musical events a little too traditional .

The modern, cool, in , fashion, but also the superficiality are predominant and not many people looking to make a step forward to break the routine music formatted. In fact, why is there so much reluctance to explore other styles?

I often compare the music with the kitchen. To sample a greater number of diverse dishes, it would leave the palace to develop, educate. And take the time to travel back to something you did not like initially, until the palate gets used. With the ear is the same. So like that it rhymes. Otherwise, we will still blunder to belch the things we do not want to know.

For example, it took me five years to enjoy the pie, since I eat in a stick not overcooked by listening Brassens, with a little booze and sausages. I tell myself that if I did, anyone can do it in reverse. Regarding Brazil, I moved Feijoada with caipirinha, samba de partido alto , pagoda e choro . The acarajé can be seasoned with Samba Reggae, Axé and Afoxé . Fish Catupiry marries well with a good forro pe de serra . And juice acai with manioc flour and bossa Nordeste from that you wrote this article ;-). Du reste, laissez votre curiosité deployer you oreilles.

Choro worldwide


hectic pace and lively, instrumental or sung, syncopes and virtuous melodies of crying makes me cry ... Emotion. Very proud to see this musical style as part of a strong cultural heritage of Brazil, I wonder: Who

would be able to represent the Choro internationally? Does the Brazilian music industry's interest in disclosing the Choro abroad?

know that the crying mixed European music (polka, Scottish, waltz) with African rhythms, lundu, for example. That does not remember the origins of jazz?

The comparison of two, Choro being a bit "older" than the Jazz, the latter was able to impose worldwide prominence of World Music, where the Choro style is outside of Brazil. Until the Bossa Nova has a proper identification, as a style in itself, like the Jazz.

What is missing so that the crying has a greater impact outside of Brazil and enrich the image of Brazilian culture abroad?

The Cry of the privilege is still interested in Brazilian music and curious scholars around the world outside. I think of artists like singer Mariza who "raised" Fado and internationally designed with modernity and elegance. About know, be a star Costa Yamandu this magnitude is capable of sending its rays of light from Rio to the rest of the world? " Or would others?
