	Encyclopedia: Music of Brazil
		Salsa music is a diverse and predominantly Caribbean and Latin genre that is popular across Latin America and among Latinos abroad; the style is the primary music played at Latin danceclubs and is the essential pulse of Latin music, according to author Ed Morales.
		This type of music is played primarily in the Recife and Olinda regions during Carnaval.
		The music serves as the backdrop for parade groups that evolved out of ceremonies conducted during colonial times in honour of the Kings of Congo, who were African slaves occupying symbolic leadership positions among the slave population.

	Lusophone music -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Of all the Lusophone countries, the one with the most internationally renowned popular music is probably Brazil.
		Portuguese fado has had some success internationally, as has Cape Verdean (additional info and facts about morna) morna, which is closely related to fado.
		Mozambique boasts popular timbila and marrabenta music, and Guinea-Bissau's gumbe scene once thrived; Angolan semba accentuates the later crosscultural linking between the Lusophone countries -- it is related to Brazilian samba, but the origins of both are murky and unclear.

		Fado (fate in Portuguese) arose in Lisbon as the music of the urban poor, and is thus often compared to rembétika; music of Greece.
		Fado is said to have been born in the beginning of the 19th century, when immigrants from Brazil were commonplace, and their music was the fofa and lundum dances.
		In Trás-os-Montes, traditional bagpipes (gaita-de-foles), a cappella vocals and a unique musical scale with equal semitones have kept alive a vital tradition.

	Music of Sri Lanka
		The two single biggest influences on Sri Lankan music are from Buddhism and Portuguese colonizers.
		The earliest stars of Sri Lankan recorded music came from the theater, where the traditional, open-air dramatic culture (kolam or sokari or nadagam) remained the most popular form of entertainment until well into the 20th century.
		The native pop-filmi music dominated the market in Sri Lanka during the late 1960s and early 1970s, but by the end of the decade, Indian film and music again became the best-selling sector of the Sri Lankan music industry.

	metavideo - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		A metavideo or metamovie is a documentary that describes the "making of" a music video or movie or alternatively analyzes the original film in other ways.
		This type of documentary has been a rapidly-growing field in the late 20th century and early 21st century, as DVDs and expanding satellite and cable television systems seek to run more content.
		This is one rather confusing example of what commonly airs on MTV and MTV2, television channels that originally focused on playing music videos but later transitioned to other entertainment programming.

	lusophone music - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		In varying forms, the genre has dominated Portuguese music since the early 20th century, and has also spread to its former colonies, especially Brazil and the African colonies (Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde and Angola), while having a lesser influence on the Asian colonies of Sri Lanka and East Timor.

	Various Artists: Afro-Portuguese Odyssey - PopMatters Music Review
		The artists on this CD perform what is termed Lusophone music -- that is, music from countries where the people speak Portuguese or Portuguese-influenced dialect, like Cape Verde's Crioulo language.
		The liner notes found on this CD explain that Portuguese rule was particularly oppressive -- and the Lusophone countries were among the last African colonies to achieve their independence, some as recently as 30 years ago.
		Lusophone pop can -- depending on the musician, their country and various influences -- be utterly exuberant or downright melancholic.

		Sometime in the late nineteenth century, this new musical bow received a Lusophone name — berimbau de barriga, or "jaw harp of the stomach"— and entered a new cultural context, the African-Brazilian martial art form known as capoeira (Kubik 1979, 30-33).
		Also played horizontally, the marimbau is not a musical bow but is played with a stick and a slider achieving a melodic effect that sounds similar to the berimbau de bacia (as does the unrelated blues monochord from the southern USA known as diddley bow).
		Because of the various styles of music in which the berimbau was increasingly used, new techniques were developed to better meet the challenges of berimbau performance outside of capoeira.

	A viagem dos sons / The Journey of Sounds / RootsWorld Recording Review
		José Moças, the executive coordinator for a viagem dos sons bravely tackled the task of tracing the musical influences left by Portugal in the cultures that were part of her empire.
		An interesting side-note is the role of double influence, where a music culture is influenced by the same tradition coming into the region both from the originating culture as well as from the Portuguese, who picked up the same influence elsewhere.
		As a result, musical influences are incredibly varied, and "traditional" music is always forced to come to terms with the latest musical ideas.

		It offers an introduction to the cultural and historical context within which literature developed in Lusophone Africa, as well as a discussion of the prose and poetry published by the writers from these five countries since independence.
		As such, the volume is intended not only as a textbook for the student of the literatures of the five Lusophone countries, but also as a cultural and intellectual foundation for the specialist reader with an interest in the former Portuguese colonial empire.
		Secondly, it links African Lusophone literature to its three major cultural settings - the oral cultural tradition of African or "crioulo" literatures, the broader context of Portuguese-language literature in Portugal and Brazil, and the 20th-century development of a distinct fl and/or Negritude literature in North America, the Caribbean and Europe.
