DVD Reviews of Moro No Brasil - A Film By Mika Kaurisma
DVD Review: A musical journey through Brazil
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very fine trip through a variety of music styles starting with a native 'indian' village in the north of Brasil, through the Sertao back country marketplaces, stopping in Recife, Salvador Bahia, and ending in Rio. The theme of the movie is there are three roots to the evolving Brazilian music scene: Indian, African, European, and by starting in the north, we move through this evolution in styles. There is plenty of live footage from street musicians and in clubs. Many of the music styles are unknown even to Brazilians from other parts of the country, so even they will learn much about their own musical heritage. The film is narrated in English with subtitles translating the musicians interviews. The producers of this film were the ones who did "The Buena Vista Social Club" and they wanted a similar film about Brazil. Brazil being so huge a country, there are many more styles to show, and the director does it with flair, emotion, and great color.
While the film ends in Rio, of course there are even more regional styles (and my favorite, chorinho is not filmed!) further south, but perhaps those will be seen in a sequel one day.
Very Highly Recommended for lovers of travel, complex rhythms, and Brasil!
