The Sea, the Storm, and the Mangrove Tangle by Lynne Cherry

The Sea, the Storm, and the Mangrove Tangle by Lynne Cherry

The whole astonishing range of Brazilian music is revealed.--Stage and Television Today.

The first paperback edition of this study of Brazilian music, hailed as the long awaited, comprehensive, and scholarly history of this complex subject when it appeared in hardback in 1994. Schreiner takes us from the merging of Amerindian, African and European cultures under the Portuguese colonists to the evolution of the many rhythms and dance forms associated with popular Brazilian music. The choro, the samba, the bossa nova are coolly and carefully unravelled and the book ends on the contemporary music scene of the 1990s.

Lynne Cherry has written and/or illustrated over thirty award-winning children's books. The Big Kapok Tree and A River Ran Wild, two of her best-selling books, urge children to protect the environment. Lynne speaks widely--and passionately--about how children can make a difference in a democratic society, and how they can change the world if they care deeply about something. She shows educators how incorporating nature into the curriculum makes a child's learning more relatable. Lynne's writings are motivated by her passion for the outdoors, and she enjoys canoeing and hiking.
