Overview

Lusofonia, a (R)evolução --- 2007

With the participation of Caetano Veloso, Cesária Évora, Lura, Sara Tavares, Gilles Peterson, Carlos do Carmo, Buraka Som Sistema or Sam the Kid, "Lusophony, the (R)evolution" is a view on identity, rhythms, melodies and dances. This is a documentary on the music which connects some 220 million people in Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde and São Tomé and Príncipe. Setting out from the cultural miscegenation between peoples from the 15th century onwards, it explores the way in which lusophone culture has inspired musicians in genres such as Hip Hop, Fado, Reggae, Jazz, Semba, Tropicália, Kuduro or Morna. This is a unique portrayal of the essence and the magic of Lusophony. Not for sale / Promotional Use Onlu Red Bull Portugal Copyright 2006 Subtitles PT / ENG Ratio 4:3 PAL regions 5.1 Dolby Surround
