The Defence of Tradition in Brazilian Popular Music: Politics, Culture and the Creation of Musica Popular Brasileira - Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series
Sean Stroud
Examines how and why Musica Popular Brasileira (MPB) has come to have such a high status, and why the musical tradition (including MPB) within Brazil has been defended with such vigour for so long. This title emphasizes the importance of musical nationalism as an underlying ideology to discussions about Brazilian popular music since the 1920s.
