Looks at Brazilian music from the 1920s to the 1950s. Whether he's talking with samba musicians, watching classic movie musicals, or listening to recordings made more than half a century ago, the author explores how the historical forces of race, class, and gender colluded in the development and export of Afro-Brazilian culture.
