"Moro no Brasil": Brazil's Joy and Pain Through Her Music

"Moro no Brasil," (aka "The Sound of Brazil") Finnish director Mika Kaurismaki's 2500 mile journey to discover the amazing diversity of Brazilian musical culture has just been released by Milan Visual Entertainment.

Kaurismaki begins his journey at the roots of Brazilian music, in the Northeast states of Pernambuco and Bahia. "My principal idea was to start with the Indians, who were the first ones to sing and dance in Brazil, and show how the music changed and developed when foreign cultures arrived, first Portuguese and then African and to show where it is today," Kaurismaki says.
