Description
About the Book
To the 70 million poor of Brazil, dreaming and planning for Carnival is an upside down ritual for exorcising their pain--a brilliant cultural and sexual release in which sequins are brighter than diamonds; prostitutes and pimps are queens and kings, and dancing skill is more prized than power.Review Quotes
"May well be the single best book ever written about the central place of music in the life of the Third World."--Washington Post Book World
