EDITOR’S NOTE

Dear friends,

On September 7th we will be celebrating 195 years of Brazilian freedom, Independence Day, with lots of fanfare and excitement.

“Brazil’s Independence was officially announced on the 7th of September 1822 from the hands of the Portuguese. Since then it has been a country. For ages Brazil has represented the great escape to a prehistoric, tropical heaven, igniting the Western imagination like no other South American country. Brazil had its unique attributes including having had a reigning monarch and an empire that boasts of a relatively bloodless independence from Portugal. Brazilians did not have to fight tooth and nail nor did they create any type revolt. The King himself declared in the Grito do Ipiranga, "By my blood, by my honor, and by God: I will make Brazil free" with the motto "Independence or Death!"

Every year, thousands get together in a mad passion to proudly celebrate Brazilian Independence Day. A country of mythic proportions, people gather in the streets celebrating with banners, balloons and streamers.

For those that do not know anything about Brazilian culture, here is an opportunity to go to one of the events, get in the green and yellow mood, and see the richness of Brazilian art and hear the variety of sounds, rhythms and styles that exist in our repertoire.

Furthermore, I hope you just enjoy the magazine in general and support Brazilian Music Foundation’s mission, which is to promote, educate and advance Brazilian Music in the Americas.

.Madalena Sousa Madalena Sousa Founder/President/CEO

This month we are celebrating 195 Year of the Brazilian Independency day September 7th, 1822.

ABELÊ Z NEW CD RELEASE

Zabelê is the daughter from two of the biggest names of our Brazilian Popular Music scene: the couple Baby do Brasil and Pepeu Gomes, the main artists from the libertarian and revolutionary group Novos Baianos, from the 1970s, and one of the most impressive of our music.

“Since I was a kid I took a lot of interest in music. Back at home the environment was music 24/7. I remember that my father had a studio next to home and we used to skip school to spend the day with him during rehearsals and recording sessions. He played a chord and asked us to sing a melody that came to mind. Because of that we ended up in many of his music videos, such as “Barrados na Disneylândia”, and also recording vocals and composing it was so much fun!”, says the artist. But the awakening of a music career happened in New York, far from here, while she lived there to study dance, her passion at the time.

Under the influence – and persistence – of a group of friends who played in a venue in the Village, Zabelê started hitting the stage and realized that was where she belonged. When she came back, she was invited to be in her mother’s album “Um” alongside her sisters Sarah and Nãna.

They recorded all the vocals and went on tour. “We found out we had a strong vocal chemistry and the audience loved it. We started getting multiple of requests from people that wanted to see us singing together. After that we formed SNZ”, she says. With this group they experienced a successful career, with four albums released by Warner during 10 years.

Although her first solo album has arrived only recently, her relationship with music is a long one; since she was a baby.

19 BMF | ASUOS | WWW.BOSSAMAGAZINE.COM | BRAZILIAN ART AND MUSIC | NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 1 , 2017 |EDITION INTERVIEW Philip Galinsky-Samba NY By Madalena Sousa I’ve always seen music as a social and personal endeavor, and through studying ethnomusicology, I’ve also come to appreciate music as essential to people’s culture. As a socially inclusive art form that creates so much joy and meaning for communities in Brazil and beyond, samba embodies these qualities and reminds me of why I play music in the first place. Brazilian music as a whole is incredibly rich, diverse, and uplifting, and it's fascinating to study the ways it intersects with such issues as race, class, and gender identity, nationalism and globalization, and notions of tradition and modernity.

What are your fondest Brazilian musical memories? Hearing so many Brazilian musical legends perform live; studying with numerous master Brazilian drummers; performing in Rio’s samba school Baterias for Carnaval; and being able to contribute to the body of research on Brazilian music have all been great privileges.

HÉLIO OITICICA ART

TO ORGANIZE DELIRIUM | WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART | ARTSY

élio Oiticica: To Organize Delirium is the first H full-scale U.S. retrospective in two decades of the Brazilian artist’s work. One of the most original artists of the twentieth century, Oiticica (1937—1980) made art that awakens us to our bodies, our senses, our feelings about being in the world: art that challenges us to assume a more active role. Beginning with geometric investigations in painting and drawing, Oiticica soon shifted to sculpture, architectural installations, writing, film, and large-scale environments of an increasingly immersive nature, works that transformed the viewer from a spectator into an active participant.

The exhibition includes some of his large-scale installations, including Tropicalia and Eden, and examines the artist’s involvement with music and literature, as well as his response to politics and the social environment. The show captures the excitement, complexity, and activist nature of Oiticica’s art, focusing in particular on the decisive period he spent in New York in the 1970s, where he was stimulated by the art, music, poetry, and theater scenes. While Oiticica engaged at first with many of the city’s artists, he ended up living in self-fashioned isolation before returning to Brazil. He died in Rio de Janeiro, in 1980, at the age of 42.

This exhibition is organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Hélio Oiticica: To Organize Delirium is curated by Lynn Zelevansky, Henry J. Heinz II Director, Carnegie Museum of Art; Elisabeth Sussman, Curator and Sondra Gilman Curator of Photography, Whitney Museum of American Art; James Rondeau, President and Eloise W.

ERNANI SILVA—THE ORGANIC SERIES ART

“THE EARTH IS A RICH PALETTE OF LIVING COLOR”

rnani Silva, born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil has developed a distinctive style that contains abstract, Brazilian and African elements, laced with rich and Evibrant color. Silva’s work reflects Brazilian cultural influence of African, Indian and European descent. Growing up on a hill in a settlement originally populated by African runaway slaves, Silva began painting at age fourteen and soon became convinced that painting was his destiny.

Soon after discovering that his destiny was tied to painting, he ran away from home to Bahia, "the backdoor of Yoruba and Candomble", as he calls it, a reference to the African religion and its ceremonies and rituals. Enjoying the culture that Bahia offered, Ernani worked on improving his technique and in 1989 migrated to the United States. Since then in his own words his work has become “less primitive”, yet continues to reflect his homeland of Brazil in its various forms, feelings and moods. Ernani work sometimes borders on the mystical or bizarre and at other times Photo by his work is funny and satirical. Madalena Sousa

As Ernani Silva continues his journey as a career artist with over thirty years of experience, his semi - abstract paintings continue to evoke his cultural content of his native Brazil together with his African and Indian heritage. "Striking colors, rhythm and movement - at times he becomes a choreographer and purposefully directs the figures on the canvas and at other times, he is a storyteller documenting elements of his culture and folklore or an activist fighting for the preservation of disappearing peoples - all combine to produce a very visceral response in the viewer." ARTIST STATEMENT

“I am always painting, always concerned with creating new Photo by textural forms and compositions. The important thing is human Madalena Sousa feeling conveyed into the material. I believe that art has the power to heal. My inspiration is life itself. My paintings are my way of touching the spirit and soul”

He reclaims what we toss away –rich brown coffee grounds, carbon black mussel shells, and pearly white dried beans. He reinterprets the commonplace in dynamic new ways, thus raising the ordinary to high art. http://www.artjaz.com/artists/silva/

95 Years Celebration of first radio transmission in Brazil.

On September 7th, 1922 the first official radio transmission was carried out from the top of the Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro. The event was part of the Centennial celebration of Brazil’s Independence, and happened alongside the international exposition, spearheaded by President Epitácio Pessoa. Only 80 receptors were distributed throughout the capital and surrounding cities of Niterói and Petrópolis, and according to the father of Radio transmission, Edgar Roquette Pinto, one could barely hear a thing because the noise from the expo was so loud.

The transmission began with the President’s address, and included numerous historical references, along with the Brazilian opera “O Guarani” by Carlos Gomes.
