Product Description

The history of Brazilian football and the develpoment of its musical styles are entwined. The sport is often described as a dance. With good reason. Domingos da Guia, Brazil's outstanding defender of the 1930s and 1940s, said "My elder brother used to [say] - aren't you good at dancing? I was and this helped my football. I swung my hips a lot, that short dribble I invented imitating the miudinho, that type of samba." Brazil also invented carnivalesque ways of supporting. In the 1940s they became the first fans to dress up in fancy dress and football matches are now unthinkable without a soundtrack of batucada beats. The rhythm, happiness and ingenuity that marks Brazilian football makes it perfect subject matter for music. Football has inspired almost all the great 20th century popular Brazilian artists - including Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Elis Regina and Jorge Ben. A perfect album for this summer!
