Lost Samba

You know that the economy is doing well, that the next Olympics and that the next World Cup will be there, you have heard about its football, its carnival and the crime scene over there.But come on!! this is not enough!!! Brazil is more than a great place that you wish you could visit but that is too dangerous to go.Wouldn't you like to know how it is to live there? visit it in its most exciting times with a guide who you understand, and who understands you?Surely you would like to travel with him through Ipanema, Copacabana, Bahia, Favelas, Salvador, Arraial d'Ajuda, Trancoso, Sao Paulo, Canoa Quebrada, and so many other places.Wouldn't it be great if he also explained Brazil's culture and its football, its mentality, its ecology and its politics as well as taught you about Samba, Brazilian Rock, Frevo, Lambada and the Trio Eletrico?What about experiencing revolutions, hyperinflation, the seventies and the eighties, drugs and crime? You will find all of this in Lost Samba: a book about true stories of the bitter-sweet happiness of Rio de Janeiro's golden youth in the 60's, the 70's and the 80's. In its pages you will know about the roller coaster of events that took that generation from the "Economic Miracle" of the sixties to the worst economic crisis in recent history in the eighties, all seen through the eyes of the Brazilian son of a British expat and a Holocaust escapee.
