After Saudades. 520 $a "The berimbau, a one-stringed musical instrument that looks like a bow from a bow-and-arrow, is customarily strung with the wire found within a car tire. When Afro-Brazilian percussionist Nana Vasconcelos set out to build his own, however, he strung it instead with a single Steinway piano string, signaling his desire to take the instrument beyond its traditional settings. Nana grew up in Northeast Brazil, surrounded by the resourceful improvisation born of necessity that the car tire wire solution symbolizes. As his long career progressed, he lived his dream to play concert halls throughout the world with his single Steinway string. Nana painted with sound, reimagining percussion and voice to create evocative, cinematic soundscapes. This book revolves around Nana's 1980 album Saudades, released on ECM records. It traces his early work between 1969-1979 as he lived in New York, Europe and Brazil, as he developed his approach to music-making that culminated in Saudades"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Vasconcelos, Nana. 600 10 $a Vasconcelos, Nana. $t Saudades. 650 0 $a Percussionists $z Brazil $v Biography. 650 0 $a Popular music $z Brazil $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Berimbau. 650 7 $a Berimbau. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00830730 650 7 $a Percussionists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057758 650 7 $a Popular music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071422 651 7 $a Brazil. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206830 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Sharp, Daniel B. $t Saudades $d New York : Bloomsbury Academic, 2021 $z 9781501345722 $w (DLC) 2021022814 830 0 $a 33 1/3 Brazil. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032937.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18FE88A6253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
