“…To date, research in choro and Brazilian popular music, either completed or in progress, is sparse in comparison to investigations into more traditional music styles (Alvarenga, 1982;Azevedo, 1985;Bastos, 1974;Behague, 1982;Perrone, 1986). Nevertheless, there appears to be an increasing interest in research regarding the development of Brazilian popular music as a viable academic discipline (Chaves, 1992; J®rrm~ do jBrasj7, 1991; 0 Globo, 1997;Ricardo, 1991;Suzigan, 1991).…”

“…25 I have chosen to emphasise the analysis of musical elements. Charles Perrone (1985 and1989), in an analysis of Nascimento's lyrics, found the following thematic categories: music-making and singing; Minas Gerais cultural patterns including road and stone imagery, evocation of colonial atmosphere, and religiosity; veiled protest concerning the Brazilian socio-political context; the black heritage; Pan Americanism; brotherhood and humanitarian values. 26 The importance of introductions in Brazilian popular music is a subject for future investigation.…”

During the 1960s bossa nova was the trademark of Brazilian popular music. In the 1980s a second wave of Brazilian popular artists, such as Milton Nascimento, Djavan, Ivan Lins and Caetano Veloso, has emerged on to the international popular music scene. These artists have been issuing and distributing their records through international labels, and have also had their music recorded by other artists and groups like Pat Metheny and Manhattan Transfer (recipient of a Grammy for their album Brasil). Milton Nascimento, who since 1968 has been playing in concerts around the world with jazz musicians such as saxophonist Wayne Shorter, also receives good reviews in Europe. The Observer describes Milton Nascimento as ‘one of the top musicians in the world’, whose poetry ‘… fuses emotion, feeling, experience, dreams, [and] hopes’ with ‘a burnished voice … tempered with a taut edge at times’, and ‘beautiful melodies which are deceptively intense and powerful even when surrounded by funky keyboards or lush strings’. For the reviewer: ‘His songs have summed up the collective feelings of a nation’. And for Brazilians what is the meaning of Milton Nascimento's music?

With its blends of Amerindian, African and European sources, Brazil has one of the richest and most diverse musical cultures in the world. Primitive tribal musics flourish in the Amazon, rural and urban regions practise many folk/traditional forms, and cosmopolitan art music has been produced since before the time of Villa-Lobos. Various musics that can be considered popular reflect both this wide national spectrum and the impact of international mass media pop music. Here, a description of the major tendencies in contemporary urban popular music of Brazil will be followed by bibliographical and discographic indications for further study or research.
