Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From the PublisherClarence Bernard Henry's book is a culmination of several years of field research on sacred and secular influences of s, the West African Yoruba concept that spread to Brazil and throughout the African Diaspora. s is imagined as power and creative energy bestowed upon human beings by ancestral spirits acting as guardians. In Brazil, the West African Yoruba concept of s is known as ax and has been reinvented, transmitted, and nurtured in Candombl, an AfroBrazilian religion that is practiced in Salvador, Bahia.The author examines how the concepts of ax and Candombl religion have been appropriated and reinvented in Brazilian popular music and culture. Featuring interviews with practitioners and local musicians, the book explains how many Brazilian popular music styles such as samba, bossa nova, sambareggae, ijex, and ax have musical and stylistic elements that stem from AfroBrazilian religion. The book also discusses how young AfroBrazilians combine Candombl religious music with African American music such as blues, jazz, gospel, soul, funk, and rap.Henry argues for the importance of ax as a unifying force tying together the secular and sacred AfroBrazilian musical landscape.Book DescriptionHow a religion and its sacred energy animated Brazilian musical creationFrom the Inside FlapHow a religion and its sacred energy animated Brazilian musical creationFrom the Back CoverHow a religion and its sacred energy animated Brazilian musical creationAbout the AuthorClarence Bernard Henry is an independent scholar living in Newark, New Jersey.
