Bio information: SÃO PAULO UNDERGROUND Title: CANTOS INVISÍVEIS (Cuneiform Rune 423) Format: CD / DIGITAL Cuneiform Promotion Dept: (301) 589-8894 / Fax (301) 589-1819 Press and world radio: [email protected] | North American and world radio: [email protected] www.cuneiformrecords.com FILE UNDER: JAZZ / TROPICALIA / ELECTRONIC / WORLD / PSYCHEDELIC / POST-JAZZ RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 14, 2016 Brazilian/American Trio São Paulo Underground Expands Psycho-Tropicalia into New Dimensions on Cantos Invisíveis, a Global Tapestry that Transcends Place & Time Cantos Invisíveis is a wondrous album, a startling slab of 21st century trans-global music that mesmerizes, exhilarates and transports the listener to surreal dreamlands astride the equator. Never before has the fearless post-jazz, trans-continental trio São Paulo Underground sounded more confident than here on their fifth album and third release for Cuneiform. Weaving together a borderless electro-acoustic tapestry of North and South American, African and Asian, traditional folk and modern jazz, rock and electronica, the trio create music at once intimate and universal. On Cantos Invisíveis, nine tracks celebrate humanity by evoking lost haunts, enduring love, and the sheer delirious joy of making music together. São Paulo Underground fully manifests its expansive vision of a universal global music, one that blurs edges, transcends genres, defies national and temporal borders, and embraces humankind in its myriad physical and spiritual dimensions. Featuring three multi-instrumentalists, São Paulo Underground is the creation of Chicago-reared polymath Rob Mazurek (cornet, Mellotron, modular synthesizer, Moog Paraphonic, OP-1, percussion and voice) and two Brazilian masters of modern psycho- Tropicalia -- Mauricio Takara (drums, cavaquinho, electronics, Moog Werkstatt, percussion and voice) and Guilherme Granado (keyboards, synthesizers, sampler, percussion and voice).

Scholarly studies on music have for the past thirty years paid particular attention to the ways in which music participates in the construction of national identity. In the case of Brazil, music has often been identified as a crucial expressive practice that creates concrete emblems that stand for and create the nation. By socializing people into experiencing a national sentiment, music actively contributes in generating feelings of identification with an imagined community. However, this is only the first part of the equation when thinking about the dashed identity group associated with the nation-state. Belonging to a nation is often conceived as a subjective position exemplified by feelings of pride, patriotism and even shame and guilt, while associations with the state is seen as an objective condition exemplified by identification documents, taxes, passports, etc. In a way, one is born into a state (thus conferred a citizenship), while socialized into a nation.

Brazil: “Que País É Este”?
BRAZIL: “QUE PAÍS É ESTE”? MUSIC AND POWER IN LEGIÃO URBANA Ana Cláudia Lessa Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2011 0 Abstract This thesis addresses, amongst other issues, the phenomenon of protest music with particular reference to Brazil within its pre- and post-dictatorship period. The time- frame being understood as that which finds its roots many decades prior to the 1964 so-called revolution – a de facto military putsch – and comes to flower in the democratic moment of the 1980s and since. The focus will be, eventually, directed to one of the most celebrated Brazilian rock phenomena, the band Legião Urbana, the impact of which still resonates across the artistic, cultural and political scene in Brazil and beyond. In order to establish the context in which such a claim can be viable, the thesis explores the ideological and historical background to the emergence, on a national, and international, stage of something beyond the artistic and cultural ‗dependence‘ seing before that period within Brazilian music. Key Words Rock‗n‘Roll, Punk rock, protest music, popular culture, BRock, Brazilian music, dictatorship, Legião Urbana. 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank all my previous colleges and professors who helped me to be here today, contributing in different forms and through different periods of the development of this thesis. Also a great thank you to all my students ever, for their curiosity and interest in everything-Brazilian. Without those students I would not exist as a professional. To Nicholas Shaw, my friend and mentor, who has been such an important influence and inspiration during my stay in the UK, and my love for this green land.

In tackling the Western impact on world music in the 1980s, Bruno Nettl reached the indisputable conclusion that our century has been a period of musically "unprecedenteddiversity" (1985, 3), given the "intense interchange of musical ideas." The result of this in- tense interchange has undoubtedly modified the ways people think about themselves at both micro and macro levels.

The Sublime Frequencies of New Old Media
The Sublime Frequencies of New Old Media David Novak A new world of world music was built on Cambodian Rocks. The CD was released on the New York City – based Parallel World label in 1996, and for most listeners, it was hard to find anything else like it. The com- pilation collected tracks from a number of legendary 1960s Phnom Penh bar bands, most of whose members were executed by the Khmer Rouge soon after the recordings were made. Their brief reinventions of garage rock powerfully echo the impact of the US presence in Southeast Asia and the global spread of record- ing and broadcast technologies during this period. On Cambodian Rocks, the Western listener hears the psychedelic sounds of Santana, James Brown, and the Animals anew through the ears of seemingly anonymous Cambodian musicians. The mystery of the music was amplified by the opaque presentation of its ori- gins. The compiler, Paul Wheeler, an American English teacher in Japan who had collected cassettes on a brief tour of Cambodia in 1994, provided no biographi- cal detail for the material, neglecting even track titles or artist names. Although several of these songs are beloved classics for Cambodians, the backgrounds and artistic intentions of the musicians were unknown for Western listeners. For those cognizant of Cambodian folk music styles, the mix of sounds might suggest the continuity of traditional vocal techniques and local song forms beneath the novel rhythms, reverb, and twang of imported rock music. But most North Americans, who heard this music for the first time in the 1990s, were surprised and intrigued I would like to acknowledge the Society of Fellows in the Humanities at Columbia University for support in writing this article.

Sophie Joseph, Evan Williams, Zach Hoyt Script for podcast PORT3280/3890 Professor Gibson 11 April 2013 HOST INTRO: Fuzzed out, distorted guitar. The Beatles. Social unrest. Samba drums? During the late 1960s, a Brazilian rock movement emerged and asked: ‘just what is the Brazilian identity?’ A close-knit group of musicians combined traditional Afro-Brazilian sounds with the new rock-and-roll influence and created the Tropicália movement. Facing opposition from the military regime and ardent Brazilian nationalists, they ventured to expand what it means to be Brazilian. Sophie Joseph, Evan Williams, and Zach Hoyt investigate. MUSIC TRACK 1: (30 seconds of music—“Tropicália” by Caetano Veloso) TRACK 1: In the 1950s, Brazil grew economically and industrially, hopeful about the state of their country. But, that’s not the way it turned out. In 1964, there was a military coup that replaced the democratically elected president. People felt really stongly about what happened, and music was a way for them to express their feelings. But not everybody agreed on how to do that. On one side there were these university students who believed that Brazilian music should be strictly Brazilian. On the other side, there were working class folks that got hooked on the rock scene and didn’t care about the foreign influence. Dr. Dan Sharp, an ethnomusicologist studies the music of northeastern Brazil, says: ACT 1/Daniel Sharp “This whole idea that either you’re politically engaged as a musician or you’re escapist and alienated and part of the problem—that needs to be demolished. That binary.

Transforming Brazilian Speech Into Popular Song: an Interview with Luiz Tatit
Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media no. 19, 2020, pp. 132–138 DOI: https://doi.org/10.33178/alpha.19.10 Transforming Brazilian Speech into Popular Song: An Interview with Luiz Tatit Tamara Courage and Albert Elduque Figure 1: Luiz Tatit. Image: Gal Oppido. In this interview, Luiz Tatit explores some specificities of Brazilian popular song which may explain the considerable success of music documentaries in the country. Such specificities include the connection between popular song and daily speech, its ties with Brazilian national identity and its complex relationship with foreign music styles. The interview was held telephonically on 9 April 2020. Luiz Tatit (São Paulo, 1951) is a Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the Faculty of Philosophy, Languages and Literature, and Human Sciences at the University of São Paulo (FFLCH-USP). For decades his research, which interweaves semiotics and musicology, has been focused on the structure and the style of Brazilian popular song. Books such as Semiótica da canção: Melodia e letra (Semiotics of the Song: Melody and Lyrics, 1994), O cancionista: Composição de canções no Brasil (The Song Composer: Composition of Songs in Brazil, 1996) and O século da canção (The Century of Song, 2004) include an innovative close reading of song lyrics, © Luiz Tait, Tamara Courage, Albert Elduque This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License 133 but also reflect critically on the evolution of music styles, thus providing a complete and multifaceted analysis on twentieth-century Brazilian musical traditions. Tatit has also consolidated a career as a distinguished singer and songwriter, both as a founding member of Grupo Rumo (1974–), which played a key role in São Paulo’s avantgarde musical scene in the 1970s and 1980s (Vanguarda Paulista), and as a solo artist from the late 1990s onwards.
