Hello readers!! This blog will tell you the uncomfortable situation about the popular culture in Brazil, specially the Brazilian Popular Music (MPB, in portuguese initials).
The brazilian music suffers currently the commercial slavery determined by the big media power, with the support of associated intellectuals.
This blog will show you outside Brazil the problems related to the cultural crisis. Brazil has one of the most rich popular culture patrimony, but this patrimony is banned from its own owners, the brazilian people.
The culture patrimony is replaced, by the media pressure, with doubtful cultural expressions, related to the music or to the entertainment business, who manipulates the poor people desires, wills and beliefs attending to the usually known "media barons" interests.
There's a very serious situation. Pseudo-sambas replaced the true ones to the popular taste, for example. Business made idols from "popular" press, from the pretending-popular music, from the female fetishes, idols that give no progress to poor people lives in Brazil.
The problems are very known in Brazil, although the intellectual pressure works to manipulate the public opinion and gives the false impression that there's no problem in popular culture. But outside Brazil, doubtful idols as Alexandre Pires, Michel Teló and Ivete Sangalo are shown as "MPB raising stars", but they never do MPB, but merely commercial music without cultural and artistic value.
This blog is weekly updated. And we'll try to inform you about anything of this crisis. Brazil can save the popular culture, and people have to recover the contact to the popular roots that the media forbidden to them.
Have good reading.
