fala pra gente



Moro no Brasil is a stirring, passionate documentary--a musical travelogue that grants the viewer unparalleled access to the diversity and richness of Brazilian music, reaching far beyond Samba and Bossa Nova. Finnish Writer/director Mika Kaurismäki's musical journey covers 4,000 kilometers, with stopovers in Pernambuco, Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, and presents the
voyage from the roots of samba to its present-day excursions into rap and funk. Experience Brazilian culture and get to know its people with over 50 musical performances from the streets of Brazil by over 40 musical acts,
including interviews and performances by Walter Alfaiate & Seu Jorge, Antônio Nôbrega, Darue Malungo, Silverio Pessoa, Margareth Menezes, Ivo Meirelles, and much more.

Thanks for spreading the word chap!

Yeah, this is a great movie!! Saw it at a Latin American Film Festival in Geneva (Filmar en América Latina) in 2003 :-) An incredible journey through a country and its music...

Oh, and seeing Margareth Menezes live on stage at Montreux Jazz Festival about three weeks ago was a delight! What an incredible woman...
