"The History of Brazilian Music" We are pleased to bring for the first time to Toronto a Brazilian musical that will explain not only factually but also historically one of the most reputable facets of our cultural elements. You'll understand why Brazilian music its so respected and beloved in every corner of the world. Brazilian music had African music as its biggest influence, brought over by slaves, with its frenetic rhythms and rudimentary instruments. But this was not the only influence that landed in Brazilian ports at the time of colonization. Our European colonizers, the Portuguese, brought classical music, ballroom dancing, and street performers, completely contrasting with the generally unison songs and religious music of the Natives. The mixture of these different cultures has become responsible for what we know today as Brazilian music.
