Sounds and Colours Brazil

£2.99£5.00

Sounds and Colours Brazil is a new book and CD focused on Brazilian music and culture. With interest in Brazil set to reach fever pitch make sure you get the inside scoop on what makes the country tick… its creativity, diversity and rich cultural history. If you’re thinking bossa nova, Carmen Miranda and Jorge Amado then this book may not be for you. Sure, these are all important parts of Brazilian culture (and feature in our book in some way) but we wanted to go deeper than that.

“Great Read…” Gilles Peterson

“You need to get [it] if you’re a music lover”. Cerys Matthews

“If you want to find out whats hot in music and culture in Brazil, this book is essential.” Daniel Haaksman, Man Recordings

“Warts and all, this book will set right certain prejudices and highlight lesser known aspects of the South American giant’s history, whilst offering a easy to navigate oeuvre of Brazil’s charismatic, rambunctious, culture.” God Is In The TV Zine
