5 out of 5 stars Documentary on the roots of Brazilian music   November 29, 2007
The Finnish director Mika Kaurismaki has made a wonderful documentary on the roots of Brazilian music. He begins with the Fulni-O Indians and ends up with the samba in Rio. The focus of the film is on the three roots of Brazilian music which are Indian, Portuguese, and African. Kaurismaki drives in his jeep through the Northeastern part of Brazil, then to Bahia, and on to Rio de Janiero and you are given a glimpse of life in these diverse areas of Brazil. The film enables anyone to see the rich soulful mixes of the people of Brazil and their music. For me it is a treasure as I share Kaurismaki's passion for the soulful, happy, makes you want to dance, music of Brazil.

5 out of 5 stars Great excuse to have a party   April 9, 2007

I invited some friends over to see this movie with me. It was very well done, informative, and exciting. My guests and I were spellbound by the scenery, as well as the in-depth information about Brazilian music. Hearing all the different kinds of music, and seeing the musicians and singers, was wonderful. There was a cohesiveness that increased our understanding of the culture, almost as if we were experiencing it first hand.




4 out of 5 stars For those interested in Brazilian music it's a must have!!!   March 9, 2007

This is a road-movie which covers many places in the huge Brazil where music plays an important role. The director had to choose some places and kinds of music to focus on, because otherwise he would have made Moro no Brasil I, II, III, IV, V, etc.
The places and the artists chosen are simply delicious!! The places are very authentic and the artists are incredibly spontaneous!! The movie makes us understand how Brazilian people are so musical, and that's because their own nature!! Music is in their blood and DNA!! Many times the most humble person is capable of creating excellent music without any training, classes or instruction!!!
I don't know if this happens in other places, but for sure Brazil is one of the places to research about good music!!!
Enjoy!!!


4 out of 5 stars Nice documentary   February 6, 2007
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

Very nice documentary, but I think that "Brasileirinho", from the same director is more focused and more interesting.

"Moro no Brasil" starts showing the Brazilian native indians and their musical roots in the Northeast. Then it quickly moves to Bahia and then goes to Rio de Janeiro, where Samba becomes the main subject.

It's a patchwork, showing a lot of different people and a great variety of musical traditions. Good job for a 100-minute documentary.
