英语听力：自然百科 从桑巴到巴萨诺瓦 Samba To Bossa—6（在线收听） |
In Rio, African rhythms began to mix with European styles. And it was at the house of a Candomble practitioner, a priestess named Tia Ciata, Auntie Ciata, that the first song widely recognized as Carioca samba, samba from Rio, was performed in 1916. It was credited to a musician named Donga and titled Pelo Telefone, on the telephone. Tia Ciata’s house in Praca Onze was the center both for samba musicians and those who specialized in an urban instrumental style that became the first Brazilian music to become popular in Europe. Choro was a mixture of Afro-Brazilian rhythms and European dance styles and sounded like Brazil’s answer to New Orleans jazz. The finest choro exponent also famed for his samba playing was the composer and flute player Pixingguinha.
There is a wonderful saying in Brazil that if you want to write about Brazilian folk music you’re going to have to write many volumes, but if you want to sum it all up in one word, it’s Pixinguinha. |
