Product Description The book recounts adventures: some on a tropical Brazilian island and some in merry sessions with the Irish uilleann pipes in and around Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. WomenBrazilian and foreignare ubiquitous. The style is a lighthearted pastiche of academic writing, though some of the adventures (and misadventures) are quite alarming. Many interesting insights into Brazil appearsome inspired from Jean De Lry's fascinating 16thcentury account, Histoire d'Un Voyage Faict en Terre du Brsil. The text is illustrated throughout with the titles and opening bars of traditional tunes. There is a wealth of poetry and fun in these titles. This is a unique feature: the esoteric collection of tunes alone makes it a reference for all musicians with a sense of humour. It is also unusual in the degree to which other languages figure. The book is about real people in the real world and Portuguese, Spanish, French, Gaelic, and Latin (!) all figure in addition to English, with translations where necessary. About the Author James Donal Faulkner is an Irish citizen who is currently based in France. There he devotes the bulk of his limited energy to hiding from the watchful eyes of the French government, playing traditional music and writing poetry. He is currently working on a followup to "A Piper in Brazil". This new book describes his musical adventures in the Western Mediterranean.
