Recensioner i media

"Perrone analyzed hundreds of contemporary song texts to provide English readers with a window into the very important musical-poetic world of contemporary and artistic Brazil. The book is informative, easy to read, and of great value in understanding many sociological aspects of Brazil's recent history."--Hispanic American Historical Review "Perrone's highly competent, well-written, and informative work is the first full-length study in English of contemporary Brazilian popular music. After a brief historical overview of this music, the author ... offers an in-depth discussion of the careers and works of six major songwriter/performers of the 1965--1985 period: Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Milton Nascimento, Joao Bosco, and Aldir Blanc... The book also includes a useful bibliography and discography, an index, and good photographs that will make the topic come alive... Highly recommended."--Choice
