BRASIL BRASIL - Episode 1 (Pt 1 of 4) Samba to Bossa

BRASIL BRASIL
A three-part series from BBC
The series offers a detailed account of the years in which Brazilian music has evolved and constantly changed, while capturing the global imagination. Filmed at Brazil's massive carnival celebrations, in the lawless favelas, the extraordinary maracatu ceremonies of the northern countryside, and in the music clubs of Salvador and Rio, these three, hour-long films chronicle Brazilian music from the birth of samba right through to the hip-hop, baile and funk scenes.
Episode-1: Samba to Bossa Nova
The series starts in the days of slavery, when an estimated 4 million Africans were forcibly moved to Brazil, and traces the development of samba from the poor black areas of Salvador and Rio, where it was initially banned, to its fusion with European styles and its move to the mainstream. The programme follows the career of samba's most successful and glamorous international star, Carmen Miranda, and the growth of the samba schools that dominate the Rio carnival. It traces the fight-back by musicians from the poor Northeast, who used a rival style, forro, to sing about the harsh realities of their lives, and shows how politics helped the development of a sophistcated new samba-jazz fusion, bossanova, from the Fifties, that was to bring international success to Joao Gilberto and Tom Jobim. The programme ends with the military coup that ended the optimistic, easy-going bossa era.

@dinahdavyd thanks for the lovely comments. However, to be honest with you, I have uploaded this video to promote my country of birth, and because I want this channel to be mostly Brazilian; however, I am not knowledge or even ford of Brazilian music. LOL. Hopefully, another friend will be in a position to answer your question. I apologize.

Shut up brasil i a amazing

So fuck your self and dont say this about my country

[marco58amco]

Certainly no documentary will be able to cover the whole history of the samba, nevertheless it is important to keep our history live. Besides that to cover samba to bossa nova in 4 episode it is going to be a though work. Music, dance and football are three very important elements in Brazilians life. Thanks very much to this upload. I look forward to seeing the other 3. LOVE, LIVE, LEARN n LAUGH. MAC
