The trivialization of VIDEO, BOOK, AND MUSIC

Bill Gates has said the world after the computer revolution, would never be the same. And we are seeing that today. We are indeed witnessing the trivialization of the information. She is now at our fingertips.

For example. If you have forgotten how to extract square root, just put that question into Google, the most popular search tool on the Internet, and instantly on your small screen will jump several pages explaining how to extract square roots. Or if you prefer an explanatory video, do the same on YouTube, plus text and will also have a movie explaining everything with a didactic presentation at the highest level. Or let's say you have a question about the term database because it is a course you are doing, for example, "cardinal" and immediately will jump on your small screen with thousands of explanations and a perfect one that will be the envy of the didactic his teacher.

The knowledge is there on the Internet. Today is not going to take more of anything. with a little expertize, it makes even an Internet course.

You can also download almost all the books, films, lectures, audio on all that is subject to the speed of thought.

Movies today are swarming in front of us, with plenty of quality and make us dizzy. You can get in torrent sites like torrents inhttp://www.brtorrents.com.br/ one of numerous sites specializing in movies, and there find sitcoms, movies of all genres, which will be available through a small file you download the free hosting sites such as sharing files to MEGAUPLOAD.

Clicking on the movie of your choice, it is a small file's Torrent downloaded too small. The downloaded file instantly. This small file that comes compressed in zip format contains within it the caption of the movie and the torrent file. If you have installed on your machine the uTorrent and other file turret, no , the file will be immediately sent to a list of files to be downloaded to a screen of uTorrent, and initiate a download process continued almost without interruption.

The film works brilliantly with the legend provided. To be able to view the film with the legend, it is sufficient to put the legend that is a text file format with the extension. "Srt" along with the movie file. If not, rename the movie or putting both the legend of the same name, keeping the file extension as a legend. "Srt" or. "Sub" which is another subtitle file format.

SubRip is a program (software) for Windows that extracts (rips) subtitles to a video file or a DVD.

Subrip is also the name of the file type created by the program, which receives the extension. Srt. This type of file can be read by most media-editing and caption.

The quality of films is impressive. Practically like a reasonable quality DVD. Note that this device is not restricted to micro computer, but you can see these films in devices DVD players, simply to have a PENDRIVE formatted with FAT-32. Some also work with the FAT to NTFS is the most widely used in PCs today.

The modern DVD players have most often an input to Pen Drive, and even TV sets have that entry. In addition are able to play videos in the format Dvix, Xvid, Matroska etc. ... Not only play DVDs like the old appliances.

So if you buy a DVD you have in your current playlist to dvix, and has an entry for PenDrive, just record video on a USB stick, sticks it in your DVD player device, select the device and click on the file the film that will appear in a list on your TV screen.

There will therefore work to burn a DVD, spending money on media. You download to your computer, transfer it to a stick and watch on your TV which has entry for PenDrive or on your portable DVD player that also should have this entry.

All this completely free, and the security of a free reading of shake and crashes that can occur in CD and DVD media. That way you also preserves the mechanism of reproduction of DVD, BluRay, or CDs that tend to deteriorate over time. The average time that a mechanism for reading optical media leads to present problems for 2 years.

The site BRTORRENTS asks donations. I've downloaded many movies there, complete series, and I donated $ 2.00 Two real. If everyone like me to donate even a little, the site can survive without problems.

The time it takes to download these videos is very fast. They are usually downloaded in one night without problems. You leave to go to sleep and falling the next day will have already downloaded.

There is also the ease of using the brand new Pen-drives that use high-speed USB 3.0 port and are already appearing. If you use a USB drive of 35 gigabytes, it can record 3.0 a BluRay movie. By the way torrents are already available in these films in HD (High Definition) They seem to come so that pills can save space, unlike the Blu Ray discs sold and rented in trade that occupy much larger spaces.

A conventional film with a size of 1.4 Gigabytes for example will be copied on a flash drive in a 3.0 minute. As he is faster than the conventional, will be read more comfortably without any crash or slow for your media player.

In addition to the Torrents that charge us only have one machine and Internet access can also download all that is kind of books and read them in our tablets. But not the tablets that you find in stores telephony.

If you want to buy a Tablet will not go to a store that sells phone plans.

They will come out more affordable if you buy a phone plan that comes with the unit, but then you assume an average monthly expenditure for Internet access.

Buy it on sites like e-commerce site ebay. There you will find Tablets cheaper than the stores that offer phone along with the plan post-paid Internet access.

There you will find comparatively much cheaper tablets. Cheaper than even the phone companies offer plans with Internet access. They are delusional.

These tablets enable cheaper and reading books in modern formats with all the illustrations, as opposed to devices that allow only read in text format.

Unanimity of the few in Congress who heard the Digital Book, one was about using ePub. ScrollMotion From Barnes & Noble, the IDPF to Saraiva, all said and reaffirmed that the ePub standard and is here to stay.

Immediately thereafter, there is a new watch unanimously. For a large number of publishers, ePub was a tremendous novelty. So much so, that someone in the audience asked, during a talk by Michael Smith, president of IDPF, the origin of the ePub format. The question illustrates the quantum leap that must be followed by publishers in Brazil, out of general ignorance to the widespread adoption in a short time. Adopting the ePub format will be indispensable for any serious prentensões publisher with the market.

The Basics ePub

It is an international standard for e-books , free and open, organized by a consortium of companies called IDPF - International Digital Publishing Forum . Head the IDPF companies like Sony, Adobe, Microsoft, among many others.

Check out the courses very simple on the ePub format and production of e-books

The ePub is an XHTML file produced basically the same codes used by a single page of the Internet (HTML), accompanied by a style sheet. Css to control layout and design. Images and photos are packed, along with the content - one file for each chapter in a file with a. EPub. This extension is recognized by the computer, too, as a compressed file.

That is, ePub is made of technologies and languages ​​already dominated by people. As I said Sergio DM9DDB during the Congress of the Digital Book, the editor you want to create books in ePub just need to hire a programmer HTML4, he knows perfectly how to create books in ePub. The assertion of the Sergius is correct!

The adoption of the ePub format, internationally, stems from two basic needs. The first, establish an open standard for e-books, you do not pay royalties to any company and can be improved over time, as the market evolves. The second, very practical, is to allow the book can be read by the largest amount of equipment and programs as possible, using only one format, to save time and money throughout the production chain of e-books. Therefore, the choice of language and simplicity of XHTML ePub decisions were reflected, aimed at facilitating the adoption and use of the format without difficulty and investments.

E-book from the very simple open in Opus, the Cybook e-book reader

A book made into ePub allows the reading to be a good experience in any type of display, regardless of size, or system. You can increase or decrease the font size, enlarge or shrink the página.Com it is possible to read the same e-book, the same file, on multiple devices, whether it's reading is on the phone, the iPhone , the Sony Reader or PC. The text is automatically resized to the size of the screen.

Going one step further:

and production advantages

There is a huge operational advantage to publishers that adopt the ePub format. EPub is a file written in XML . This is the language of the future. Written content can be easily converted from automatic tools when they are marked in the XML language. Simply enough, XML allows one to classify each piece of text with a given label. Today this may seem unimportant. Next few years, however, with the progress of the Internet and the emergence of what researchers call the " Semantic Web ", this type of classification is extremely useful to relate, link, and generate new online content. Have your books, now in XML, is a competitive advantage and a considerable savings in investment, some years ahead.

EPub book open on the iPhone via the app Stanza

The same book in ePub, as the Sony Reader. The resizable text allows you to read on multiple devices, even with different sizes

Someone will be objected that publishing e-books is possible only in PDF. Yes, of course it is possible.But the flexibility to create and deliver content in PDF, is much smaller. The reading is only good, and even then, on some computers. And yet, the experience of reading is weak, since it is necessary to constantly scrolling the screen, both horizontally and vertically. For the purposes of cognition, reading should be the least possible distraction. In addition, readers are not fools. They know how to easily create a PDF, and PDF publishing only a drop arguably the intrinsic value of e-book. After all, with a PDF editor is offering only basics.

Turning to ePub a PDF, InDesign, Quark Xpress, Word and others, is no easy task. There are tools that convert PDF's and documents automatically ePub, of which the best and most famous of them is the Caliber, a free program. 

With the growing market for digital media players , publishers and manufacturers seek a standard format for publishing electronic books. In a process similar to what happened in music during the 1990s - when the MP3 was crowned the main audio file format - now you can find e-books in various formats.

If you have not started reading on digital platforms, how about starting? And This article shows the various options available - even without spending money on a dedicated reader.

Whether an application on your phone or computer, to a reader like the Sony Reader or COOL-ER , or the brand new Apple iPad , the format EPUB is the best choice for your digital books. Metadata, images, annotations and bookmarks are just some of the advantages of the format.

Even those who already have a digital library - contemplating formats such as PDB, LIT, MOBI and even PDF - only has to gain from the conversion of books to one that will probably be the industry standard format for e-books.

Although much greater than it was, the market for digital books only came to the general public recently with the launch of the Kindle . This means that there are many tools available - yet - to work with such material.

Fortunately for organizing your library and also convert files between various formats - including PDF and EPUB - you've found right here on Baixaki, an excellent choice of free application, the Caliber .

Prerequisites

To perform the conversion you need to have installed on your computer, Size, you can download by clicking the link below:

Remember, the Caliber is also available for Mac and Linux , so whatever your favorite operating system, you can use it.

In addition, you must have a book in PDF. For the tutorial we will use the book " King Solomon's Mines "by H. Rider Haggard, available in the public domain and obtained through the siteManyBooks.net . Just remember that the longer offers ManyBooks EPUB versions, but as this article deals with conversion from PDF, this format will be downloaded from the website.

The process is the same for any other file - in PDF or not - but more complicated books with diagramming, or many images, may have reading problems after converting to ePub.

Step by step

1. Setting the Gauge

When you open the Caliber, some basic settings are required. The program asks about the language you want to use the gauge and the directory in which to save your library.

After setting this information, the software wizard asks which device you use for reading. While you could set up several specific readers - e-readers, smart phones and iPad / iPhone (with the application Stanza) - an equally valid option is to keep the application on Default, providing basic support for any device.

2. The library

Putting books in the library of the Caliber is quick and easy.Simply click on the "Add Books" and choose the file you want to include.To better organize your collection - which can reach thousands of titles quickly, if you search enough - it is worth also edit the metadata for each book.

3. Converting the text

After setting all the additional information included in the book, you can convert it to a variety of formats. Among all possible extensions, however, is the most versatile EPUB.

After clicking the "Convert eBooks", a settings window will open. For a basic conversion is not necessary - in theory - no switch. 

On top of the conversion window there are two selection lists: "Input format", which should be filled with the format of the source file - PDF in case - and "Output format" which should be in EPUB. If this is not the format, simply select it from the list.

The different sections found in the left column address technical characteristics of the EPUB e-book, but only a few are really relevant to anyone who is not publishing books, but converting them for personal use.

The first section - "metadata" - allows editing of metadata of the destination file based on information from the source file. All changes made ​​in step 2 of this tutorial will be automatically transmitted to the EPUB file.

Preferably do not change anything in the "Look & Feel", since here fit characteristics of typography. Since virtually every reader has internal settings from the default, set this information in the wrong way can harm the outcome of the e-book convert.

In "Page Setup", choose the output profile ("Output Profile") more suitable for your reading device. In the case of cell phones or reading on your own computer, choose the default profile ("Default Output Profile").

"Structure detection" should only be changed by who knows how the original file was created, a time that works with information of images, headers and footers through commands and codes.

All e-book presents a converted table of contents (table of contents).

This index can be generated automatically - if the file to be converted does not present the table of chapters - or taking advantage of the index of the original. The "Table of Contents" shows settings for this index.

In the sections "Input PDF" and "Output EPUB" a few choices you can make about the original file and the conversion result. EPUB in the section on the first box, if checked, forces the creation of a single file - it loads more slowly, but maintains the integrity of the text better - while the second box excludes the creation of a pattern to cover books do not show a picture on the homepage.

"Debug" refers to conversion issues and serves to record any flaws in the process, which can be fixed by changing conversion settings, or to send to the developers of Calibre, to correct programming.

Digital readout

Ready! Now your book is already formatted for the likely pattern of e-books. To check the conversion, you can use your own gauge viewer, or send the book to the reading device of your choice.

The production of an e-book in ePub demand knowledge of the ePub standard, adequate tools for the production (though, theoretically, any HTML editor can be used), a test environment to the quality of the files produced and - key - the use of smart tags to classify the book, the metadata, the electronic world that replace the old card catalog. More important than the ePub format itself, the editor must be very attentive to the quality of metadata added to your e-book. It is through them that the search engines (Google, etc.) and systems of online bookstores pinpoint the book. Whereas the majority of online sales occur through e-books search, precision and correct supply of metadata is critical to the sale - or not - an e-book.

BRAZIL AS MUSICAL INFLUENCE IN THE WORLD

You know who is the country in the world is in second place in popular music since the first is undoubtedly the America? The second place is Brazil. Sometimes we do not realize it. Consider this. How many pop songs you know who are not American? Surely you must know some Italian, maybe a 6. Must know some French. VOLLARE comes to mind. He surely must know much English, because there is the land of the Beatles, and should know some more Spanish, Latin, Brazilian, but you know how many? At least I know more than half of that comes to mind.

We Brazilians do not realize that our culture influences the world. No wonder we are highly recognized and appreciated worldwide. I speak of the Brazilians.

As I realized this phenomenon? I am a Merchant Navy Officer, and when traveling at the time the shipping company Netuma that no longer exists, realized by tuning the radio in the countries he visited, such as Canada and the United States, Europe, Japan and others, occasionally play a song Brazilian popular. Comes to mind for example the song Waters of March This was not a casual phenomenon, but very often, and I thought, "pucha life. I've been abroad and here I sit down to listen to Brazilian music."

Stevie Wonder in Rock in Rio sing "GIRL FROM IPANEMA"Look  the video.

Well, I had a tape with lots of Brazilian music on the piano beautifully interpreted, and put this tape when I got to play together in the intimacy of a Canadian woman. I eat good sailor, and unmarried also had my forays into the world of amorous adventures during my travels, but I swear I was one of the most restrained in this matter.

By placing the tape thought that would show a novelty for the woman. Something she was not used, but what was my surprise when she informed me that I already knew all those songs, and that it played on the radio all the time. There was nothing new for her. It was then that I realized a phenomenon I had also noticed but until then the "TYPE" had not fallen.

It is that Brazil is a great disseminator of the music world as the United States is a great disseminator of the music world as well also in Brazil.

Certainly many will disagree based on the statistics. But if you go into a bar at night with live music, there will be Brazilian Songs. If you go to a bar those who have those machines where you put a coin and play music, you find there for sure Feellings, a music Moris Albert. Brazilian.

The best known Brazilian rhythm in the world, sung in several popular bars that play live music nights in the world is the Bossa Nova .

Bossa Nova is a musical subgenre derived from samba , with strong influence of jazz U.S. , emerged in the late 1950s in Rio de Janeiro . Initially, the term was only for a new way of singing and playing samba at that time, ie, an aesthetic overhaul within the modern urban samba. Over the years, the Bossa Nova was going to become one of the most influential movements in the history of Brazilian popular music , known throughout the world, and especially associated with Joao Gilberto , Vinicius de Moraes , Antonio Carlos Jobim , Baden Powell and Luiz Bonfa .

The bossa word first appeared in the 1930's in Our Things, the popular samba singer Noel Rosa : The samba, the readiness / other bumps and, / are our things (...). The term bossa nova started to be used also in the next decade for those sambas brake , based on the talent to improvise sudden stops during the song to fit lines.

Some music critics highlight the major influence that culture American Post-War, musicians like Stan Kenton , combined with Impressionism scholar ofDebussy and Ravel , bossa nova had, especially the cool jazz and bebop . Although the influence of foreign music, has elements of syncopated samba .[1] In addition, there was a fundamental dissatisfaction with the format of musical time. The singer Dick Farney and Lucio Alves , who have years of success in the 1950s with a soft and minimalist way (as opposed to singers of high sound power) are also considered positive influences on the boys who made ​​the bossa nova.

An embryo of the movement, as in the 1950s , the meetings were casual, fruits of meetings of a group of middle-class musicians from Rio de Janeiroapartments in the south, like Nara Leão , on Avenida Atlantica in Copacabana . In these meetings, more frequent, from 1957 , a group met to make and hear music. Among the participants were new composers of Brazilian music, like Billy Blanco , Carlos Lyra , Roberto Menescal and Sergio Ricardo , among others. The group grew, embracing also Chico Feitosa , Joao Gilberto , Luiz Carlos Vinhas , Boscoli Ronaldo , among others.

The bartender Veloso, in Ipanema, arrives breathlessly to the table and warns, is a foreigner in the phone. A few days later, Tom Jobim in the United States is far from the beer with friends and the beaches of Rio de Janeiro, recording with what is considered the greatest singer in the world, the undisputed fan of Brazilian talent: Frank Sinatra.

When Sinatra, already in the studio, enthusiastically praised the beautiful and subtle melody of "Dindi" , in the year 1967, was a revered teacher. Tom Jobim was one of the greatest creators of songs that Brazil has ever had and for that reason Sinatra invited him to record together.

The quality of the composer of "Desafinado" (with Newton Mendonça) was immediately recognized in the United States, since the rise of bossa nova in 1958.

First Brazilian musical movement of the graduate faculty, as the first concerts were held in the university, little by little we become the bossa nova was taking the bar circuit Copacabana, called the Lane.

In late 1957 , one of these presentations, the Brazilian-Jewish School, there would have been the idea of calling the new genre - then just called samba sessions, referring to the fusion of samba and jazz - through a note written in a frame black, probably written by a secretary of the college, calling people to a presentation of a samba-class sessions for "bossa nova". At the event participated Carlos Lyra , Ronaldo Boscoli , Sylvia Telles , Roberto Menescaland Luiz Eça , where they were advertised as "(...) samba group featuring modern bossa nova. " [2]

Tom Jobim and Elis Regina enjoyed great success with the song "Waters of March" which today is known worldwide.

Official start of the Bossa Nova

 

Vinicius de Moraes, principal lyricist of Bossa Nova songs from "Chega de Saudade" Tom Jobim composition made ​​in 1958 and established the style.

Movement that was associated with the Brazilian urban growth - driven by the developmental stage of the presidency of Juscelino Kubitschek ( 1955th -the 1,960th ) - bossa nova began for many critics when it was released in August 1958 , a compact simple guitarist Bahia John Gilberto (considered the pope of the movement), containing the songs Chega de Saudade ( Tom Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes ) and Bim Bom (of the singer).

Months earlier, John participated in the Song of Love Too, an album released in May of that year and dedicated solely to the songs of the early double Tom / Vinicius, played by singer Rio Various Artists . According to the writer Ruy Castro (in his book Enough saudade, 1990 ), this LP was not an immediate success when it launched, but the disc can be considered a landmark of bossa nova, not only for bringing some of the more classical compositions of the genre - including, Luciana, White Road, Again and Chega de Saudade-but also hit by the famous guitar of Joao Gilberto , with its dissonant chords and inspired by the jazz American - that this would influence arguments to critics of bossa nova.

Other features of the movement that their lyrics were, in contrast to the successes so far, addressed issues and uncompromising light - example of this,Meditation , from Tom Jobim and Newton Mendonça . The way of singing also differed from that was then. According to the maestro Júlio Medaglia , "would develop the practice of singing, talking or singing softly, the text well pronounced, the tone conversational narrative musical accompaniment and singing integrating each other, instead of valuing ' great voice '. " [3]

In 1959 , the first LP was released by João Gilberto, Chega de saudade, containing the title track - with about 100 song remakes made ​​by Brazilian and foreign artists. From there, bossa nova was a reality. In addition to John, part of the classical repertoire of the movement should be partnerships of Tom Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes. The evidence suggests, as many claim, that the spirit of bossa novista was already in the music that Jobim and Moraes made ​​in 1956 for the play Orfeu da Conceição , the first partnership between the pair, who came close to not happen, since Vinicius first contacted Vadico, the famous partner Noel Rosa and former member of the Bando da Lua , to the soundtrack. It is this piece based on Greek tragedy Orpheus , one of the beautiful compositions by Jobim and Vinicius, "If everyone were like you," as foreshadowing the melodic elements of Bossa Nova.

Besides Chega de saudade, the two composed Girl from Ipanema , another representative of the bossa nova song, which became the best known Brazilian song in the world, after Aquarela do Brazil ( Ary Barroso ), with more than 169 recordings, among which of Sarah Vaughan , Stan Getz , Frank Sinatra (with Tom Jobim), Ella Fitzgerald and others. It is also Tom Jobim, along with Newton Mendonça , songs and Desafinado One Note Samba, the first two classics of the new Brazilian music to be written to the U.S. market from 1960 .

Changes

In the mid-1960s, the movement would present a kind of ideological division, formed by Marcos Valle , Dori Caymmi , Edu Lobo and Francis Hime and encouraged by the Center for Popular Culture of UNE . Inspired by a popular and nationalist, this group made ​​a critique of the influences of American jazz and bossa nova composers proposed his rapprochement with the hill, as the singer Zé Ketti . One of the pillars of bossa, Carlos Lyra , joined in this chain, and Nara Leão , who promoted partnerships with artists of samba as Cartola and Nelson Cavaquinho and baião and northeastern xote as John Valley . At this stage readings of bossa nova, was released in 1966 the LP anthology " The Afro-sambas "by Vinicius de Moraes and Baden Powell .

Among the artists who stood out in this second generation ( 1962 - one thousand nine hundred and sixty-six ) bossa nova are Paulo Sergio Valle , Edu Lobo , Ruy Guerra , Pingarilho , Mark Vasconcellos , Dori Caymmi , Nelson Motta , Francis Hime , Simonal , among others ...

End of movement, the MPB bossa

One of the greatest exponents of bossa nova compose one of the landmarks of the end of the movement. In 1965 , he composed Vinicius de Moraes, Edu Lobo, trawler. The song would be defended by Elis Regina at the First Festival of Brazilian Popular Music (the former TV Excelsior ), held in Guaruja that same year. It was the end of the bossa nova and the start of what would label MPB , which would cover several pervasive gender trends in Brazilian music until the early 1980's - came a time when pop rock national renewal.

MPB artists born with beginners, the second generation of bossa nova, as Geraldo Vandre , Edu Lobo and Chico Buarque de Holanda , who appeared frequently in popular music festivals. Successful as artists, they had little or nothing of bossa nova. Winners of the II Festival of Brazilian Popular Music, held in Sao Paulo in 1966 , triggered by Geraldo, and The Band, Chico, can be considered a milestone of this disruption and mutation of bossa in MPB.

Legacy

Today, numerous concerts dedicated to the bossa nova are performed, including between 2000 and 2001 , entitled the 40 years of Bossa Nova, Roberto Menescal & Wanda Sa.

The chronological order of bossa did not mean the extinction of the aesthetic style. The movement was a great reference for later generations of artists, from jazz (from the overwhelming success of the instrumental version of the double Desafinado Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd ) to a current post-punk British(artists like Style Council , Matt Bianco and Everything But The Girl ).

In the Brazilian rock , there to highlight both the composition of rewriting Lobao , call me at Bossa novista musician Joao Gilberto , in 1986, besides the famous singer Cazuza music composed by him and other musicians, is part of my show, recorded in 1988, with arrangements strongly inspired by the bossa nova.

His legacy is valuable, leaving several jewels of national music, among which Chega de Saudade , Girl from Ipanema , Desafinado , The boat, I Know That I Love You, If everyone were like you, Waters of March, Again, Thing most beautiful, Corcovado, Folly, Jane Doe, one-note samba , The Duck, Lobo Bobo, did a Samba Saudade.

That music made ​​popular in Brazil is characterized by its wealth is repetitive, but it is essential to define it.

His story begins with the Indians and the music made ​​by the Jesuits who landed. This meeting between the music and the music of the Jesuits is the indigenous pre-history of popular music of Brazil. The evolution of primitive rhythms, such as cateretê or chant, is still played in festivals.

The popular music of Brazil would only become stronger in the late 17th century, with the Lundu, swaying to African dance and tap dance, and popular song, song of Portuguese origin and sentimental love of nature. These two standards, European and African influence, alternated and combined the most varied and unexpected ways during the course that led, along with other influences later in popular music of today, which challenges the placement of labels or comprehensive classification.

During the colonial period and the First Empire, besides those already mentioned lundu and popular song, also waltzes, polkas and tangos of different foreign origins in Brazil found a new form of expression.

In the 19th century come the whiners sets that adapt-European musical forms such as mazurka, the polka and the Scottish-like Brazil and the Brazilian way of playing these buildings.Then arises from the brasileirização these forms, crying, and sign up new dances such as the gherkin.

Two other things that definitely helped the emergence of popular song in Brazil were the Rio carnival and the gramophone. Pixies, John of Bahia, Donga-author of the Telephone, the first recorded samba, in 1917 - were big names in this period, along with the followers of whiners.

The urban samba only be established in the 30s, comes the time when the first samba school, let her talk, founded in 1929. Then, with the popularization of radio and popular music is hard to consolidate and enter the world of musical options that Brazil today has.
