Extractions: Carmen Miranda (1909-1955) Real Audio Several CDs are available now featuring the unforgettable Carmen. This one happens to have one of my favorite pictures of her on the cover. I like it because it shows her beautiful smile and she is NOT wearing fruit on her head! We're proud to say that Maria-Brazil was the first Web site to have a page dedicated to Carmen Miranda! If you go to Rio de Janeiro, don't forget to visit the Museu Carmen Miranda . And if it's still on, the show about her life, called South American Way, is superb! Eduardo Dussek did a wonderful show/album as a tribute to Carmen also...Kuarup Discos distributes it. Here are some of the CDs I was able to find in Brazil and in the US: Carmen Miranda, CD-003, Revivendo collection, RCA. Carmen Miranda, A Pequena Notável, CD-037, Revivendo collection, EMI. The Living Legend of Carmen Miranda, Lux CD 3002, several artists, compiled by Nelson Motta. Carmen only returned to Brazil for two brief visits; the first one in 1940 - when she was accused by some of being "Americanized". That broke her heart, but resulted in a great song written for her, called "Disseram que eu voltei americanizada" (They said I came back Americanized), full of barbs directed at her detractors. The second visit occurred in 1954, a few months before her death. Carmen died of a heart attack on August 5, 1955, at home in Beverly Hills, California. There is a very sensitive documentary about Carmen called

Extractions: Perhaps Brazil's greatest pre-WWII composer, Ary Barroso is best known for the international hit, "Aquarela do Brasil," (which is often just called "Brazil"). In the 1920s and '30s, Barroso revamped the Brazilian samba, making it more accessible to international audiences, and was one of Carmen Miranda's favorite songwriters. Although his original recordings are hard to come by these days, there are countless versions of "Brazil" done by artists across the world, and many Brazilian tributes, notably a 1980 album by Gal Costa, and several modern "songbooks" on the Lumiar label. Colossal. Enthralling. Essential. Legendary figures from the dawn of samba such as Pixinguinha, Noel Rosa, Sinho and Ary Barroso may seem distant and antique, but this excellent French compilation brings their music back with resounding immediacy. Two CDs worth of catchy, classy, crazy, playful creativity with an old-timey, jazzy feel. A lot of this would work well alongside old big band tunes, or Django Rinehardt records. HIGHLY recommended. Also check out the similar "BRESIL: SAMBA" collection.

Extractions: M ovies and Windows! Great combination. For who would forget Carmen Miranda? T his modern presentation of Carmen Miranda deserves some recognition and kudos to the Window Designer. Why? Simply because this window took a lot of planning and careful execution. F irst, the headresses themselves. Using a wig and making it stay with no hair out of place is hard to begin with. Using the fruits as headress and making them stay on the mannequin heads is a feat by itself. T he attention to details has to be commended also. Adding the little rabbits made this look like an outdoor scene. Of course, the sports bags and the fruits on the ground also added to the effect. V ery creative!

Extractions: Viva Carmen! Carmen Miranda not only translated the black samba for a white audience, originated the Brazilian way of singing, and instigated the new standard for Brazilian popular music; she defined the Carioca woman. The rest of the world rediscovered her genius for close to a decade now. Finally Brazil is doing the same, with a vengeance. Bruce Gilman In 1948, renowned composer Ary Barroso (he wrote Brazil included in Disney's Saludos Amigos ) wanted to make Carmen Miranda a citizen of Rio, but the city council turned down the request saying that she would denigrate the image of the country. Nonetheless, in celebrations of Carmen forty-one years after her death, there has been a jubilant campaign to reissue her recordings and provide the public with documentaries and books that attempt to tell her story with the perspective of forty-one years hindsight. (Helena Solberg's documentary "Carmen Miranda: Bananas Is My Business" is one of the best.) Finally the platform shoes have taken their revenge. Last February when Carmen would have been 87 years old she was paid homage when the city of Rio posthumously presented her with the lofty Pedro Ernesto decoration and reverently celebrated her with a memorial performance on the beach. In addition, "those in the know" are making the latest fashion statements by wearing this seasons designer clothing, inspired by and reminiscent of Carmen's attire. With ten years of delay in relation to record companies in other parts of the world (including the former Czech Republic), Brazilian record companies finally discovered that they have been sitting on top of a very rich collection of popular music, are starting to release it in luxurious box sets, and are not complaining about the investment. Artists that seemed to have nothing more to offer have become good slices of profit.

Extractions: 09:41 AM Feb. 10, 1998 PT When Santiago Echeverry A performance artist and gay and lesbian human rights advocate who did everything from putting on shows as a drag queen to working in the Colombian capital's French Embassy to get by, Echeverry moved to the United States on a Fulbright scholarship. "I really wanted to get out of my country. I was worried about a lot of political things, and they were taking all my energy," said 27-year-old Echeverry, who recently finished a master's degree in interactive telecommunications at New York University. "Even though I was using it in my art, when I went to New York it opened my world. I had the means and support to experiment and at the same time still use the topics that had been haunting me for a long time." Prostitutes were among the targets, and Echeverry decided to work with a group of women on a performance piece about the issue. That got Echeverry threats from a man in a white van who told him, "Don't come back anymore if you want to stay alive."
