Beats of All Nations
FOCO EM BRASIL
Out 2010
World music as a scene has not been popularized in the masses, however
the level of influence it has on the alternative music scene in the Western
world points to the obvious. Thought Clouds Music has developed the
concept of a project that digs deep into the counter-cultural lifestyles of
the world. The project named “Beats of All-Nations,” takes on the
challenge to explore the current music scenes around the world that
goes beyond the typical nomenclature, by researching the arts and
lifestyles that come with it in its unpopularized and raw form. The
encounter would be documented, and the content would then be put
on display for the rest of the world to experience through different
modes of multi-media.
Beats of All-Nations, is setup to become a documented series focusing
on the alternative lifestyles from cultures all over the world, from
independent music to graffiti art, to history and general contributions to
humanity through a range of multi-media instruments. Our first installation
in the forthcoming series is titled “Foco em Brasil.” We have chosen to
begin with Brazil because of its current rise in global appeal. We have
taken note that over the last several years Brazilian music has had
serious influence on counter-culture music scenes, from Hip Hop to
House and even Rock genres. Brazilian music itself has become quite
a dancefloor delicacy from the best of tastemakers around the globe.
Though Brazilian music has been recognized for its originality in its
many different genres, there has been little to educate music devotees
about what uniqueness surrounds the biggest country in South America.
Thought Clouds plans to use Beats of All-Nations as a tool to
educate enriched cultural appreciation. This particular focus promises
to illustrate the musical and art culture of the Brazilian inhabitance.
This blog has been set up as a platform for music, culture and life
devotees. We will share our world encounters with you as this project
grows and hope that you will share yours with us as well. There will
also be music downloads, video streams, album reviews and event
notifications. Enjoy and please leave us all of your feedback as
it is our main concern.
