Program notes
How did the fathers of Tropicalismo, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Jards Macale, Jorge Mautner and Tom Ze, the old generation of Brazil's musicians, managed to influence the new generation?
You might ask why have those great musicians chosen to collaborate with the young and inexperienced? The answer is "talent" and that the future of Brazilian music is slowly passing in good hands, that of the new generation of Brazil that is more open minded whilst at the same time strongly influenced by the music of the fathers and grandfathers, taking Brazilian music one step further...
This documentary will introduce and expose you to some of the greatest Brazilian musicians alive today, along with the sounds of one of the most musically important places in the world.
