As the largest nation in Latin America, Brazil is home to some of the most celebrated music in the world. This case study in the Global Music Series edited by Bonnie C. Wade and Patricia Shehan Campbell is one of the first books to explore the contemporary diversity of Brazilian music. Each chapter combines narratives of musical events with musical analysis, personal histories of musicians, and explorations of the connections between music and other domains of
Brazilian culture and society. Unlike most textbook treatments of Latin American music that concentrate on traditional genres, this text emphasizes styles of music (such as Brazilian rap, Brazilian heavy metal, and musica brega) that most Brazilians enjoy today.
