Moro No Brasil (Sound of brasil)

A musical journey through Brazil in the company of Finnish filmmaker Mika Kaurismäki. This road movie is both a record of the multifarious, multicultural rhythms and forms of expression in Brazilian music as well as a testimony to the director’s personal passion. Kaurismäki travels throughout Brazil looking for musicians, singers and dancers who are proponents of a wide variety of different styles. He allows Brazil’s rich musical tradition to speak for itself – in stories told by the people of Brazil, in amazingly contradictory styles of music and in song lyrics. Music is an inherent part of everyday life in Brazil and is, moreover, always used as a spontaneous expression of emotion. Music that is so beautiful it hurts.
