Hey B, you should read Why is this Country Dancing. It's one man's chronicle of travelling through Brazil in search of musicians. Really gets into the culture as well. It was recommended to me not too long ago and I finished it in one sitting. With all the music I've been picking up, this book, the learning Portuguese CDs in my car, and the Capoeira lessons... I'm quite ready to make the trip south.

I just watched the J.Rocc Apache routine again, and the part where Wilson Das Neves comes onstage.
