"John P. Murphy's Music in Brazil is a concise, accurate, and very usable book. It presents some musical genres that even most Brazillians have never heard of. Discussions of identity, gender, and ethnicity provide a convincing connection among all these seemingly disparate musical styles, while offering a good introduction to studying popluar music with a touch of cultural studies."--Rogério Budasz, Music and Letters
