No Compasso da História


Joyce Moreno’s new TV series



Joyce Moreno wrote a few days ago:
This is the invitation for the opening party of my new TV series ”No Compasso da História”—Brazilian history, told by Brazilian music. It’s an old project of mine that has finally come true, with the help of the mayoralty of the city of Rio. It’s a series of 15 documentaries, and we’ve spent the last 18 months working hard on it: 500 years of History and over 150 songs! It will be aired both on TV and in public schools.

I know you probably won’t be able to make it to the party (it’s a shame you will miss the mayor’s speech... :-)) but I wanted to let you know about it, anyway, as I’m so proud of the work we've done.

this looks wonderful. Joyce has always said that if you want a history of Brasil, just listen to the music.

I always loved Joyce. This a very interesting TV Show where she performs songs all the time. Maybe too many.
