Beyond Ipanema
Brazilian Waves in Global Music.
This documentary from filmmaker Guto Barra takes you beyond the 1960s bossa nova hit "The Girl from Ipanema" to explore how samba, Brazilectro and other Brazilian music styles have long captivated audiences and influenced musicians around the world. Mixing archival footage, fresh performances and interviews with leaders in the global music scene, Barra examines why Brazil's music consistently transcends boundaries of time and musical taste.
