My second idea was inspired by last years essay I did on the history of Bossa Nova music in Brazil. I touched more on the progress of the music genre and its influences and social-political stance. Perhaps now I can take it further into current times. I took a book out from the library that discusses more in-depth aspects of the build-up of Bossa Nova which has added more information than I previously wrote.
I’m unsure if I will be able to add anything more than I spoke last year or just be rehashing. I was thinking as well to perhaps speak on the colonialism aspect of Portugal over Brazil and the connection between Africans and their impact & integration into Brazilian culture.
