Editorial Reviews

Moro no Brasil is a true celebration of music and culture. Brazil is rich in musical tradition. The documentary is a declaration of Kaurismaki’s love for the country – his adopted home for over fifteen years. Kaurismaki experienced melting-pots of customs and tradition in the cities of Penambuco, Bahia and Rio de Janiero. His film documents the variety of Brazil’s musical expression and the influence it has had on world music. During the production of the film he also opened a live music club, "Mika’s Bar," in Rio de Janiero, where many of these performances were recorded. The record features music by Seu Jorge and many more Brazilian acts.

5.0 out of 5 stars A musical journey through Brazil, November 10, 2006

This review is from: Moro No Brasil - A Film By Mika Kaurisma (DVD)

This is a very fine trip through a variety of music styles starting with a native 'indian' village in the north of Brasil, through the Sertao back country marketplaces, stopping in Recife, Salvador Bahia, and ending in Rio. The theme of the movie is there are three roots to the evolving Brazilian music scene: Indian, African, European, and by starting in the north, we move through this evolution in styles. There is plenty of live footage from street musicians and in clubs. Many of the music styles are unknown even to Brazilians from other parts of the country, so even they will learn much about their own musical heritage. The film is narrated in English with subtitles translating the musicians interviews. The producers of this film were the ones who did "The Buena Vista Social Club" and they wanted a similar film about Brazil. Brazil being so huge a country, there are many more styles to show, and the director does it with flair, emotion, and great color.
While the film ends in Rio, of course there are even more regional styles (and my favorite, chorinho is not filmed!) further south, but perhaps those will be seen in a sequel one day.
Very Highly Recommended for lovers of travel, complex rhythms, and Brasil!

This review is from: Moro No Brasil - A Film By Mika Kaurisma (DVD)

This is a road-movie which covers many places in the huge Brazil where music plays an important role. The director had to choose some places and kinds of music to focus on, because otherwise he would have made Moro no Brasil I, II, III, IV, V, etc.
The places and the artists chosen are simply delicious!! The places are very authentic and the artists are incredibly spontaneous!! The movie makes us understand how Brazilian people are so musical, and that's because their own nature!! Music is in their blood and DNA!! Many times the most humble person is capable of creating excellent music without any training, classes or instruction!!!
I don't know if this happens in other places, but for sure Brazil is one of the places to research about good music!!!
Enjoy!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars If You Like Forro this film is marvelous, November 26, 2006

Someone totally obsessed with the music of Northeastern Brazil made this film, and he was willing to take the lesser names, along with the legends to make his passionate point...the point being that this music is born of the dust of Brazil, of the best part of the Brazilian collective heart, of the part we all who love Brazil have saudade for... I was riveted the entire time and feel a debt of gratitude to the director for sharing this remarkable music and the even more creative people that transcend their tough lot in life bearable through music.
