Contemporary Carioca : technologies of mixing in a Brazilian music scene

The book is the result of extensive ethnographic field research in Brazil over the course of more than a decade, including a Fulbright-funded residency of 11 months in Rio de Janeiro. The ethnography benefited from preliminary trips for language study and a gradual cultivation of a network of contacts. Follow-up visits augmented the author's historical perspective on the period covered. The book engages a broad range of interdisciplinary literature to advance original arguments about music, race, nation, class, gender, and technology during a period of transition to an increasingly market-based economic model, and to a fully digital music industry.
