Traveling through the beauty of the Brazilian countryside and the chaos of its urban streets, Mika Kaurismä;ki's road movie reveals the richness of the multifarious, multicultural rhythms and forms of expression that Brazilian music offers. Frevo, coco, forró, and embolada are just a few of the diverse styles the film spontaneously, gloriously displays, in the concert hall, in bars, in backyards, in the streets. This will serve as a living textbook of Brazil's genres and musicians for years to come. With short My Buddy, Zé Ketti (Nelson Pereira dos Santos, Brazil, 2001, 12 mins).
