  • Sept 27 @ 7:30 PM the Beacon Theatre P. 7
    NEW YORK | SEPTEMBER 1 2017 | BRAZILIAN MUSIC FOUNDATION | ASUOS | EDITION#3 SEU JORGE Sept 27 @ 7:30 PM The Beacon Theatre P. 7 A TRIBUTE TO DAVID BOWIE 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.

Commemoratingthe expulsion of Portuguese troops from Salvador, Bahia, on 2 July I823, the Dois de Julho festival representedBahian society collectively and marked differences of national origin, class, and race. It challenged the Brazilian state's official patriotism by articulating a regional identity, and through its commemoration of the independence-erapopular mobilisation, presented a story of Brazil's origins that contradictedthe official patriotismwhich celebratedEmperor Pedro I as Brazil'sfounder. Dois de Julho's popularity and durability, moreover, suggest a significant and socially-broad engagement with the imperial state, which cannot be considered a remote and alien entity to the urban population.

Signed ……………………………………………………. Olivia Sheringham 2 Abstract This thesis explores the role of religion in the everyday, transnational lives of Brazilian migrants in London and on their return to Brazil. It contributes to an emerging body of work that recognises the importance of religion within transnational processes and foregrounds the experiences of Brazilians in London, a growing yet still largely invisible new migrant group in London. While the study explores the role of religious institutions in the transnational lives of Brazilian migrants, it works with the notion of religion as lived experience to give due weight to the perspectives of migrants themselves. It examines the ways in which migrants negotiate their religious beliefs and practices in different places and create new connections between them.
