Refazenda connects a remarkable album by one of the 20th and 21st centuries' great musicians to a dazzling, often unexpected, array of people and places spread across the globe from Brazil to England to Chile to Japan. Critics and fans often project (or impose) desires and interpretations onto Gil that don't seem to fit. This book explores why familiar political and musical categories so often fall flat and explains why serendipity may instead be the best way to approach this mercurial album and the unrepeatable artist who created it. Based on years of listening to, studying, and teaching about Gil, and the author's own encounters with the album around the world, this book argues that Refazenda does, in fact, contain radical messages, though they rarely appear in the form, shape, or places that we might expect. The book also includes the first English-language translations of the album's lyrics, never-discussed-before 1970s Japanese liner notes, and a recounting of a forgotten moment when censors detained Gil during the album's debut tour.33 1/3 Global, a series related to but independent from 33 1/3, takes the format of the original series of short, music-basedbooks and brings the focus to music throughout the world. With initial volumes focusing on Japanese and Brazilian music, the series will also include volumes on the popular music of Australia/Oceania, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and more.

Gilberto Gil (1942- ) is not just a musician. From an icon of the counterculture to Minister of Culture, he is the purest manifestation of what it means to be a Brazilian popular artist."In the process of writing songs, you discover you can talk about everything. You must talk about everything. A song must be an instrument for exploring the general complexity that inhabits you." This volume of Musical Trajectories includes an essay about Gilberto Gil's life and work, two original interviews with the artist (2019 and 2020), and an extended discography.

Most die-hard Brazilian music fans would argue that Getz/Gilberto, the iconic 1964 album featuring "The Girl from Ipanema," is not the best bossa nova record. Yet we've all heard "The Girl from Ipanema" as background music in a thousand anodyne settings, from cocktail parties to telephone hold music. So how did Getz/Gilberto become the Brazilian album known around the world, crossing generational and demographic divides? Bryan McCann traces the history and making of Getz/Gilberto as a musical collaboration between leading figure of bossa nova João Gilberto and Philadelphia-born and New York-raised cool jazz artist Stan Getz. McCann also reveals the contributions of the less-understood participants (Astrud Gilberto's unrehearsed, English-language vocals; Creed Taylor's immaculate production; Olga Albizu's arresting, abstract-expressionist cover art) to show how a perfect balance of talents led to not just a great album, but a global pop sensation. And he explains how Getz/Gilberto emerged from the context of Bossa Nova Rio de Janeiro, the brief period when the subtle harmonies and aching melodies of bossa nova seemed to distill the spirit of a modernizing, sensuous city.33 1/3 Global, a series related to but independent from 33 1/3, takes the format of the original series of short, music-based books and brings the focus to music throughout the world.

Cometi la mayor parte de los cr menes en Ecuador, de donde es oriundo. Huy a Espa a, pero no dej atr s su instinto asesino y volvi a matar. Se aprovechaba de las mujeres solas, indefensas o en situaci n de vulnerabilidad. Generalmente las levantaba en su auto y las estrangulaba al tiempo que las atacaba sexualmente. La prensa le llam Monstruo y es el t rmino justo para definir la naturaleza de este sujeto que podr a recuperar la libertad al cumplir 25 a os en prisi n. Puede la sociedad correr ese riesgo?

Description in English: Nicknamed "The Monster of Machala" for the brutality with which he murdered his victims, Gilberto Antonio Chamba Jaramillo has been held since 1993 in the Module 6 of the Quatre Camins Penitentiary Center, in Catalonia. He committed most of the crimes in Ecuador, where he is from. He fled to Spain, and soon thereafter began his murder spree again. He took advantage of lonely, defenseless, or vulnerable women. He usually picked them up in his car and strangled them while sexually assaulting them. The press called him "Monster", the perfect term to define the nature of this beast who could once again go free after serving 25 years in prison. Can society risk that? The conversation continues.
Gilberto Freyre was arguably the most famous intellectual of twentieth-century Latin America. He was active as a sociologist, a historian, a journalist, a deputy in the Brazilian Assembly, a novelist, poet and artist. He was a cultural critic, with a good deal to say about architecture, past and present, and a public intellectual, whose pronouncements on race, region and empire - not to mention sex - made him famous in some quarters and notorious in others. The Masters and the Slaves, his most famous work, went through forty editions and has been translated into nine languages, made into a comic book and a television miniseries, while two directors (one of them Robert Rossellini) planned to turn it into a film. Yet he is not well known outside Brazil. Freyre was a major social thinker, one of the few who have not come from Western Europe or the USA, and this book argues that we should take account of the pioneering work of this gifted intellectual. His ideas are of particular relevance today for both political and academic reasons. His interest in gender, ethnicity, hybridity, identity, globalization, and capitalism ensures that his ideas are still provocative and topical, and ready to be introduced to a wider audience.
'Por que ler Freyre hoje em día? As respostas a esta pergunta sao necessariamente múltiplas e contraditórias. Urnas delas concluem que seria melhor fazer essa leitura de Freyre a nossa última. Outras apontam novas dir~oes para levar adiante sua obra. O nosso objetivo ao organizar este volume foi instigar novos ensaios que nao representassem simplesmente julgamentos sobre a obra de Freyre, mas, antes, interpreta(6es significativas.' Extraído da introdução do volume pelos editores Joshua Lund e Malcolm McNee. ~ 'Why read Freyre nowadays? The answers to this question are necessarily multiple and contradictory. Some of them conclude that it would be better to make this reading of Freyre our last. Others point to new directions for taking his work forward. Our objective in organizing this volume was to instigate new essays that do not simply represent judgments on the work of Freyre, but rather meaningful interpretations.' Taken from the introduction to the volume by editors Joshua Lund and Malcolm McNee.
