Tango Brasileiro e Ernesto Nazareth- Joshua Rifkin

[sergiobantam]

O termo Tango que designa um ritmo Francês desenvolvido amplamente na Argentina foi usado por Darius Milhaud para designar o "Chorinho brasileiro", porém nada tem a ver com caráter desse estilo. Na realidade, Nazareth carrega uma áurea Chopiniana como se entre o fascínio da "Belle Époque", o "bucolismo carioca" do começo do século XX , um sutil hálito da "viola cabocla" de dez cordas com um ligeira influência do som do piano que embalava os tempos do cinema mudo.

It´s is really called Tango Brasileiro. In the time, the term "Choro" was restricted to ensembles consisted of guitar, bandolin, flute, cavaquinho, etc. that played similar music and in wich the improvisation played a very important part.

Nazareth was to Brazil perhaps what Chopin was to Poland - but whereas Chopin is now loved throughout the world, the world has yet to discover the beauties of Nazareth....

I love & play Scott Joplin and Joshua Rifkin do it very well!

[cebukid70]

I am a huge fan of Joshua Rifkin! Thanks for posting this.

Bela apresentação (música e dança) sobre a obra de Nazareth, mas ainda falta um pouquinho do quê de brasileiro nas interpretações.

[eumaroca]

this is called actually (i believe) 'choro cancao'...but is soooo sweet, anyway. thank u so much!

[brcmano]

I don't think so,Nazareth is famous by his tangos, and I've seen Nazareth's vintage sheet music and they were called Tangos. People used to listen tangos in Brazil back in those days, even in more recent times, like 1940's, tangos brasileiros were very famous and found everywhere. My grandma, for example, is very fond of tangos brasileiros.

@eumaroca

Its a "Brasilian Tango". This mistake is normal. Most people use the term "Choro", but its a name of another brasilian style that is similar with Nazareth Brasilian Tangos. Nazareth´s Tangos are more like a Maxixe(another old brazilian music style) than todays Choro. Well, hope I help with something.

[brunosr07101988]

The termo tango brasileiro really exists. Ernesto Nazareth, in fact, use to write tangos...

[chicobborges]

Sorry folks i

wanted to say what not why.....but thanks for answering anyway....I enjoyed very much the documentary congratulations for those who made it ....

[chicobborges]

Whay you are calling brazilian tango, in Brazil we call CHORO....

[brcmano]

Well, It wasn't me who gave the title for the documentary, so I can't explain exactly why.

But I believe when he calls it Brazilian Tango, he is talking about Maxixe, which is in fact known as a kind of Brazilian tango, and it was called that way back in those days.

[lucasmoraescs]

it is also called tango brasileiro. I studied this at my music class here in brazil.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

My god! It is so hard not to hear the Ragtime influences! But you can also hear influences from Europe & Africa.

[pianiplunker]

Nazareth published his first tangos many years before Joplin published his first rags.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Joplin wasn't the first to publish Rags.

[pianiplunker]

That is true but the first rags were published in 1897 and nazareth was publishing tangos in the 1880s. Ragtime and brazilian tangos both have the european and african influences of course but I don't think Brazilian tangos influenced ragtime or vise versa. Nazareth is a descendant of Gottshalk, Chopin and European salon music while Joplin's ragtime is a synthesis of folk music.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

So he started publishing when he was 17? Still, he is known for combining in music of Europe, Africa and Ragtime.

[renatomsoborghi]

@Morahman7vnNo2 Actually, his first composition (a polca-lundu) was written when he was 14. His first tango is from 1879, when he was 16. And really, both ragtime and the argentine tango are posterior to the brazilian tango. That's why I can't still understand why he used the name tango. The only tango I know that existed before that was the tango andaluz, "father" of the flamenco tango, which has nothing to do with this music. Greetings from a Brazilian living in Argentina.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

@renatomsoborghi Oh, interesting...And Salutations from a Bangali living in the U.S.A....?

[muzicaz]

bongos and maracas?! have you ever been to Brazil?

but the video is beautiful, anyway!

[globrazilcom]

There is only one problem! The music of Nazareth is the Music of Nazareth. Those who call his music "ragtime" doesn't know anything about music

[globrazilcom]

[thesis12345]

Does someone know the name of the second song in the video starting at around 4:40?

Joshua Rifkin plays it beautifully.

[brcmano]

It's called Nove de Julho.

[brcmano]

I will post the rest, I just had a little problem, but as soon I have time to fix it, I will do that.

[ChiripaEnFlux]

This is an Awesome document!!! I've been hearing and playing Nazareth's music since 1984, the same year I bought my first Joshua Rifkin's record of Scott Joplin rags. So, 24 years later I found this gem and here they are, together at last!. Can you post the rest of this magnificent documentary? It would be priceless for my History of Music Students. Thanks from Venezuela.

[borlange11]

Joshua Rifkin does a great job and this video tape is MAGNIFICENT. I bought 2x this Decca video tape from which brcmano shows this fragment because I think its an important document which I perhaps once can swap for something. However there is a musician who plays Nazareth still better (in my opinion). His name is Arthur Moreira Lima

[shishirth]

Yes, Arthur Moreira Lima sets the standard for Nazareth... fantastic...
