Refazenda connects a remarkable album by one of the twentieth (and twenty-first) century's great musicians to a dazzling, often unexpected array of people, places, and things spread across the globe from Brazil to England to Chile to Japan. Critics and fans often project (impose) desires and interpretations onto Gil that don't always seem to fit. This book explores why familiar political and musical categories so often fall flat and explains why serendipity may instead be the best way to approach this mercurial album and the unrepeatable artist who created it. Based on original research, years of listening to and writing about Gil, and the author's own encounters with the album around the world, the book argues that Refazenda does, in fact, contain radical messages, though they rarely appear in the form, shape, or places that we might expect. 33 1/3 Global, a series related to but independent from 33 1/3, takes the format of the original series of short, music-basedbooks and brings the focus to music throughout the world. With initial volumes focusing on Japanese and Brazilian music, the series will also include volumes on the popular music of Australia/Oceania, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and more.
