Howdy. I'm trying to find a place on the internet where I can be myself, and find folx with similar interests.
I am a climate and ecology oriented farmer, working with organic livestock and tree crops in the Midwest US. My focus is on ecosystem stewardship and community resilience, but mostly navigating surviving as a food grower and living simply. Trying to write some.
Not a natural with digital tech, but I'm pretty good with a pitchfork.

The best summation of what the music represented as a cultural movement in Brazil is by ethnomusicologist Suzel Reily: "While samba-canção privileged the quasi-operatic voice of an exotic star dancing merrily in front of a big band, possibly even wearing a pineapple, the sophisticated bossa nova interpreters in black turtlenecks merged their soft spoken voices to a single guitar..."

Also, on a historical context note: the whiplash between the political unrest that Brazil saw on January 8th and celebrating bossa nova this week is reminding me of what happened to effectively end bossa nova as a movement in Brazil in March of 1964.
