Product Description
Program note.
Prelúdios comidas típicas brasileiras
for solo marimba is about food Brazilian food. Having lived in Brazil during my teens, Brazilian culture is indelibly a part of my life. Everything about Brazil is quite miraculous: the music, the food, the language, the people, etc.
The work is in four movements.
I. Salpicão Baião saboroso
II. Acarajé Valsa adoçada
III. Moqueca Tango apimentado
IV. Beijinho de coco Sambinha delicioso
Formally, the work could be conceived as a four-course meal at a Brazilian restaurant.
The first course is Salpicão a salad with chicken, ham, peas, apple, heart of palm, carrots, shoestring potato fries and mayonnaise. Baião saboroso means savory Baião, a form of dance music from the Brazilian Northeast.
The second course is Acarajé a deep-fried dough made of black-eyed peas. Valsa adoçada means a sweet waltz.
The third course is Moqueca a fish stew made with coconut milk, tomato sauce, lime juice and hot pepper sauce. Tango apimentado means spicy tango.
The last course is Beijinho de coco a dessert made of sweetened condensed milk, grated coconut, egg yolks and coconut milk. Sambinha delicioso means delicious little samba.
Bom apetite!!!
