The Only One in the Room

33 1/3 Brazil

1976, Rio de Janeiro. Revered Brazilian pop musician Jorge Ben Jor, known for his 'samba-rock' fusions and hits such as 'País Tropical' and 'Mas que Nada', picks up the electric guitar and records the album África Brasil. With grooves structured around guitar and horn riffs, funk drumming, samba percussion, and hypnotic vocal refrains, this album has become a favorite of connoisseurs of 1970s Brazilian vinyl. It was part of the growing cultural negritude of the time in Brazil, especially in Rio. American musicians such as James Brown were increasingly influential there; meanwhile, disco began to reach the city's nightclubs, and a few musicians were getting hip to Afrobeat. 

Through a close examination of the tracks on this seminal album, this book explores how Jorge Ben Jor and fellow musicians created a new sound, and it probes how ideas about blackness, Africa, and Brazilian identity were evolving during the mid-1970s. Written in a clear style and based on new research, it offers an engaging narrative that will appeal to fans, students, and scholars.

33 1/3 Global, a series related to but independent from 33 1/3, takes the format of the original series of short, music-basedbooks and brings the focus to music throughout the world. With initial volumes focusing on Japanese and Brazilian music, the series will also include volumes on the popular music of Australia/Oceania, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and more.

Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series

Adrian Scahill's seminal study traces the evolution of the accompaniment of instrumental Irish traditional music from its roots in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to the highly refined and classicized music of the contemporary tradition. A key theme of the text is that the hybridity evident in accompaniment is not novel in itself, but related to the hybrid nature of the melodic tradition. The book is structured in two parts: the first concentrates on printed sources; the second on the recorded repertoire. The central objective of the book is to focus on accompaniment as part of the 'primary text' (to borrow from Allan F. Moore) of instrumental traditional music. It considers how the development of accompanimental techniques is closely related to changing musical styles and performance contexts, and reveals that these techniques are created through a process of assemblage, which draws on a wide range of musical sources from both inside and outside the tradition.

Tchaikovsky's Writings about Music

A powerful exploration of race and swimming by a writer who "see[s] the world whole, allowing daily intimacies against a backdrop of social injustice" (New York Times). Michael Kleber-Diggs and his twin brother, Martin, grew up in Kansas City, their family part of a prosperous community of Black medical professionals. Their father had never learned to swim, so when he wanted to buy a boat, their mother, a former lifeguard, agreed on the condition that her sons take swimming lessons. Then their father was murdered in an act of random violence, and everyone's lives changed--but for Michael, in the years and moves that followed, swimming remained a constant. My Weight in Water is the intimate memoir of a swimmer. It is a story of race and recreation in America--of segregation, desegregation, and justice--told through one family and their lives in the Midwest. It is a reckoning with the concept of self-care and a plea for joy. Most of all, it is a book about what it means to love an activity that leaves you vulnerable--your mostly unclothed body in close proximity to other mostly unclothed bodies, moving through the same water--when you are marked as an outsider by both your race and your size. Transparently and gloriously written, My Weight in Water is a definitively American work about what it costs one swimmer to enter the pool and why he does it anyway--imagining a future where all people have access to an activity that renders us weightless.

Notes of a Fat Black Swimmer

My Weight in Water

The digital age has birthed The Great Awokening. Grievances previously overlooked - mental illness, racism, gender identity, homophobia, the need for safe spaces - now occupy centre stage. The current cultural climate demands us to declare our standing quickly and emphatically - often without pause for understanding. Looking at how the concept of a spiritual awakening has evolved into present day 'wokeness' - and how it has in turn lead to further polarisation rather than unification - in THE AWOKENING, Ayishat Akanbi encourages an appeal to humanism. It is a timely and inspiring reminder of the power of curiosity and the benefits of intellectual humility, and an urge to partake in the gruelling task of developing self-awareness, such that we can become more socially aware - and aware of each other.

Clarity, Culture and Identity in the Web of Chaos

The Awokening

What does power sound like? Loud? Brash? Masculine? Here's the truth: if you're a woman, a person of colour, an immigrant or queer, there's often dissonance between how you speak and how we think powerful people sound, i.e. the wealthy white men who have historically set the standard. In this witty and warm guide, speech expert Samara Bay, who has worked with the likes of Gal Gadot, Penélope Cruz and Terry Crews, as well as global leaders in business and politics, offers a new approach to asserting your power in all areas of life. Permission to Speak is packed with expert tips and easy-to-follow exercises, demonstrating that you don't have to speak like the status quo to be taken seriously.
