The Discoteca Collection: Missão de Pesquisas Folclóricas (Brazil)
(Endangered Music Project/Library of Congress - RCD/RAC 10403)
A collection of 1938-vintage field recordings culled from the library of the Discoteca Pública Municipal (Municipal Public Recordings Collection) in São Paulo, Brazil. The Discoteca, which commissioned the Missão de Pesquisas Folclóricas (Folklore Research Mission), dispatched a team to six states in north and northeast Brazil to document regional folklore, ritual music, and dance. The cultural expedition gathered recordings, musical instruments, costumes, and ritual objects. The music they collected, much of which accompanied ritual, social, and dramatic dance, is primarily vocal, accompanied by various types of drums, bells, rattles, shakers, and other assorted Brazilian percussion, and strings. All material has been expertly re-mastered from the original source discs for this release.
