Description

Explore the complex history of Brazilian music through Sean Stroud's detailed study. This book examines how Musica Popular Brasileira (MPB) achieved its high status and why the nation has defended its musical traditions with such intensity for decades. Stroud investigates the role of musical nationalism as a primary ideology in Brazilian popular music discussions dating back to the 1920s. Readers will gain insight into the significant debates surrounding cultural invasion within Brazil and how these tensions shaped the national sound. The text provides a deep look at the individuals responsible for constructing the concept of MPB, offering a clear perspective on the political and cultural forces at play. This work is an essential resource for anyone interested in the intersection of politics and culture within the Brazilian music scene. It tracks the development of MPB and the evolving relationships that define the genre's identity.
