For students on the Lusophone boat

Are you a Portuguese student at Cambridge? Have you survived an endless visa application? Are you somewhere in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Maputo, or Lisbon, wondering why you can't understand a word in Portuguese, the language you studied for two bloody years? Then this blog is for you. Share your pictures, videos, worries, insiders' tips on accommodation, working, studying, and travelling. And find out that you're not the only one misusing the subjunctive. Wherever you are, document what you're up to. In English or Portuguese, it doesn't matter. As long as you keep in touch!

 The talk discusses the many contacts between popular and classical Brazilian music from the viewpoint of Olavo Bilac, as expressed in his sonnet "Brazilian Music" in which he defines contact as the "lovely flower of three sad races". Through the use of recordings of African-Brazilian, native Brazilian and Portuguese music, set against the production of classical composers, Professor Marco António da Silva Ramos discusses the concept of contact in Brazilian music. The speech would be of interest to scholars, musicians and music lovers alike.
