Biography

Cláudia Azevedo is lecturer and developer of a post-doctoral research project on popular music analysis (with a FAPERJ—Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro—scholarship) at the Program of Post-Graduation in Music at UNIRIO—Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.

Felipe Trotta is a faculty member of Media Studies Department at UFF—Universidade Federal Fluminense—and researcher of the Brazilian National Research Council (CNPq).

"The goal of the present collection is to give an international voice to studies being developed in Brazil. This book is a major contribution to popular music studies, not only because it presents new data on Brazilian popular musics but also because of the new insights it brings into this field of study. Routledge’s Global Popular Musicseries, of which this book is an impressive example, comes into press ata critical moment when it is urgent to inscribe non-Anglophone research and topics in academia, precisely from countries where the social sciences in general and music research in particular are threatened by national and international scientific politics."
