In THE COLOR OF SOUND, Burdick examines three different genres of gospel music in Brazil-an African American-inspired version which is modeled heavily on North American church culture and is based on repeated viewings of videos and DVDs of American black churches; gospel rap, which tends to be class-based; and gospel samba, which emerges from Brazil's "official" musical form--to explore music as a social force.
