Descripción
Sumario:This is the culmination of years of research on sacred and secular influences of àsé, the West African Yoruba concept imagined as power and creative energy bestowed upon human beings by ancestral spirits acting as guardians, that spread to Brazil and throughout the African Diaspora. In Brazil, the West African Yoruba concept of àsé is known as axé and has been reinvented, transmitted, and nurtured in Candomblé, an Afro-Brazilian religion that is practised in Salvador, Bahia. The author examines how these concepts have been appropriated and reinvented in Brazilian popular music and culture.
