A brief telling on the development of contemporary music in Brazil, its approach, embracing and rejection from classic composers as a form
to construct a musical identity on the first half of the 20th Century. For musicians, learners and enthusiasts, this is a fine informative short
piece that summarizes how Brazilian music was perceived by musicians and artists, trying to establish their own rhythms and schemes rather than
always replicating the European tradition of classical music.
It shows some performances from musicians of the early 1970's, some interviews as well, with many discourses about different instrumentation,
the use of objects to create music and sound effects rathern than just instruments, and the whole thing about breaking the norm in order to create
a musical expression. It didn't show questionings or criticisms about that current state of music, neither an evaluation of where our music could or
should go; it's just an analysis of what it is and you have to be the judge. 6/10.
