This is
a Brazilian popular
melody compiled by
Mário de Andrade
(1893-1945) in his
collection Ensaio sobre a
música brasileira
(1928). He was an
ethnomusicologist who
traveled around his
country collecting data
in order to preserve the
ancestral memory of
indigenous tribes, slaves
from Africa and
Portuguese settlers. He
was one of the most
important musicologists
of the 20th century in
Brazil, as well as a poet
and writer who
contributed alongside to
Heitor Villalobos
(1887-1959) to
establishing Brazilian
Nationalism. This song
Cana-fi ta is a work song
from Pernambuco which has
the 'coco' rhythm and
describes life at a sugar
plantation. The choral
version of Eduardo
Lakschevitz, uses the
main melody in a set of
variations, alternating
from the high to the low
register of the choir.
The percussion
accompaniment of the
instrumental group
enhances the body
percussion which the
choir is asked to
perform.
