Brazilian Memory Project brings Violeiros do Brasil to London/Kent/Cambridge
Brazilian festivals in London are still going on in November; this time it's about music and specifically, ten-string guitar players. The Brazilian Memory Project was created in 1987 to highlight the most popular instruments and segments in the country through a documentary followed by a concert.
The project shows rhythms, traditions, common beliefs and stories of Brazilian culture. Starting with a presentation by director Myriam Taubkin, the event goes on to the exhibition of "Violeiros do Brasil" (which means ten-string guitar players of Brazil), documentary that shows the different musical scenery in the country and shows how the ten string guitar has become one of the most popular musical instruments in the countryside. The doc still emphasizes on the rich Brazilian beauty through images. With an alliance between image and sound, the project tries to represent all of Brazil.
The film will be followed by a concert with ten-string guitar players Ivan Vilela, one of the mais players currently, with 13 recorded albums, and Pereira da Viola, singer, composer and player. They are getting together to bring the UK over two decades of this musical style so fundamentally Brazilian.
