In 2008 the Brazilian Hour celebrates it’s 30th Anniversary. Here is a bit of it’s history: The Brazilian Hour celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2008. The Brazilian Hour is produced in a state-of-the-art studio within the Cultural Sector of the Brazilian Consulate in Los Angeles. The program was first broadcast from KXLU-LA 88.9 FM on the campus of Loyola Marymount University in 1978, where it continues to be aired weekly on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00AM to 10:00AM. It can also be heard live on www.KXLU.com. In l981, the program went from local to national with satellite distribution covering the United States. Currently, the Brazilian Hour can be heard over 30 stations in the US from Alaska to Arizona, to New York, Puerto Rico, and Guam. In l981, the Brazilian Hour went international and was made available for distribution to most Brazilian Embassies throughout the world in Portuguese, English, Spanish followed by French; more recently, a pilot program has begun in Chinese. The Brazilian Hour became known for introducing different styles of Brazilian music to American audiences, as well as featuring new and established artists. Hundreds of musicians and personalities who have an important role in the Brazilian cultural world have participated on the show; a few of these who have gained universal musical appeal are represented among the following: Antonio Carlos Jobim, Moacir Santos, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, Sergio Mendes, Djavan, João Bosco, Oscar Castro Neves, Roberto Menescal, Flora Purim, Airto Moreira, Luciana Souza, Paulo Moura, Lenine, Seu Jorge, Céu, Bebel Gilberto, Eliane Elias, Dori Caymmi, Joyce. Representing the broader Brazilian cultural world: João Cabral de Melo Neto, Roberto Burle Marx, Orlando Villas-Boas, Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, Nelson Pereira dos Santos, Fernando Meirelles, Edson Arantes do Nascimento – Pelé, among many others.

| Homage to Tom Jobim, He is Antonio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim born the 25th of January 1927 in Rio de Janeiro. He is a quiet and shy musician plunking on the keys of a piano. He is an athlete, always at the beach, however as a result of an accident this son of Ipanema submerges himself into music. He eventually emerges with his signature sound and will leave a mark on the world forever - more info |

| 10 years without Tom Jobim Há dez anos a música brasileira perdia um de seus maiores expoentes, um embaixador que a levou aos maiores palcos do planeta. Antônio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim fez da paixão por seu país a sua própria obra, mas, caprichosamente, foi em Nova York que o compositor morreu, no dia 8 de dezembro de 2004. Vítima de duas paradas cardíacas sofridas enquanto convalescia de uma operação para retirada de um tumor na bexiga, Tom Jobim deixou um legado de valor inestimável à música do Brasil. http://jbonline.terra.com.br/destaques/2004/tomjobim/ |

| Brazilian Popular Music: An IntroductionIn
my view, Brazilian popular music began at the precise moment when,
in the slave quarter of a mansion somewhere, the Indians started
to imitate the slaves as they clapped their hands and the white
colonizers abandoned themselves to the magical, mellifluous singing
of the slave women. This admixture, sensually and slowly matured
over four centuries, gave rise to the choro in Rio de Janeiro, a
period in which the maxixe, the frevo and the samba also began to
emerge. Since then, the hundred years which began with the Abolition of Slavery in 1888 and the Proclamation of the Republic in 1889, have witnessed the consolidation of a cultural revolution that has brought us redemption: the dramatic ascent and shaping of Brazil's mulatto civilization. And from it sprang that civilization's firstborn, its most cherished and all-embracing daughter, Brazilian popular music. http://www.brazil.org.uk/mpb/indexen.htm |

| A historia da musica Garota de Ipanema: Vinicius de Moraes fez uma primeira versão para a letra desta música, que então se chamava "Menina que passa": Vinha cansado de tudo / De tantos caminhos / Tão sem poesia / Tão sem passarinhos / Com mêdo da vida / Com mêdo de amar Quando na tarde vazia / Tão linda no espaço / Eu vi a menina / Que vinha num passo / Cheio de balanço / Caminho do mar Mas nem Tom nem Vinicius gostaram da letra. Mais tarde, Vinicius fez a versão definitiva, inspirado pela graça de Heloísa Eneida Menezes Paes Pinto, que frequentemente passava em frente ao Bar Veloso (hoje chamado "Garota de Ipanema"), em Ipanema, na esquina das ruas Prudente de Morais e Montenegro (atualmente Rua Vinicius de Moraes). Tom e Vinicius eram presenças frequentes no bar, com mesinhas na calçada e um ótimo chope. Heloísa morava na Rua Montenegro 22, entre a Prudente de Morais e a praia. Dois anos e meio depois é que Heloisa soube que suas caminhadas pela Rua Montenegro haviam feito dela a musa desta canção. Nesta época já namorava o engenheiro Fernando Abel Mendes Pinheiro, de família rica, bom no vôlei de praia. Fernando morava na Rua General Artigas, no bairro do Leblon, numa bela casa com paredes de pedra. Em maio de 1966, quando os dois se casaram, Tom Jobim e sua mulher Thereza estavam entre os padrinhos. http://www.jobim.com.br/cgi-bin/clubedotom/musicas3.cgi?cmd=musica&song=ipanema |

| Instead of having a one-man-show in his city of Rio de Janeiro, Silva Costa decided to have a permanent exposition. This is not a new idea in the Web but a very convenient one. His web page is http://silvacosta.com/ where his biographic data can be seen along with work for sale and also paintings done in the last 45 years (his first one-man-show was held in Monterey, CA, in 1953). |

The Latin American Microfilm Project (LAMP) at the Center for Research Libraries (CRL) has been funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to digitize executive branch serial documents issued by Brazil's national government during the period between 1821 and 1993, and by its provincial governments from the earliest available for each province to the end of the Empire to 1889. The project provides Internet access to these documents to facilitate their scholarly use and thereby enhances Latin Americanist scholarship within the Hemisphere-wide initiative sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The Brazilian documents were scanned
from microfilm copies of the originals. The images are stored as GIF and TIFF
images in the Center for Research Libraries' Electronic Document Storage and Distribution
Facility. The GIF images, at a resolution of 100 dots per inch (d.p.i.), are viewable
using web browsers such as Mosaic and Netscape. The TIFF 300 d.p.i. images offer
greater clarity, but require a TIFF viewer for use. When GIF images are not legible,
click on the "300-d.p.i. TIFF image" found at the top and bottom of
the screen. The TIFF image will load automatically in the TIFF viewer you have
installed. If the image is illegible in the TIFF format, the reader's only recourse
is paper copies. IMPORTANT: Make sure that your video driver is at least at a
resolution of 600x800 to allow for the appropriate formatting of the text images.
