Description
"Surveying a legacy that encompasses over 400 years, Peter Fryer traces the development of this musical crossover. He describes how slaves, mariners, and merchants brought African music form Angola and other ports of east Africa to Latin America. In particular they brought it to Brazil - today the country with the largest black population of any outside Africa. Fryer examines how the rhythms and beats of Africa were combined with European popular music to create a unique sound and dance tradition. He focuses on the political nature of this musical integration and the role of African heritage in the cultural identity of black Brazilians today." --book cover.
