INVITE Hello friends, Bossa Nova 60 Years! Come celebrate the 60th anniversary of Bossa Nova and a year of Bossa Magazine on Idealist Day! Bossa Nova, one of the most influential movements in the history of Brazilian popular music, that crossed borders and became known worldwide, celebrated its 60th anniversary in July 2018.  “Chega de Saudade” is a song written by Vinicius de Moraes (lyrics) and Antonio Carlos Jobim (music), in the late 50's and recorded by several artists, such as João Gilberto, Elizeth Cardoso and Os Cariocas. This song became one of the symbols of Bossa Nova, and its recording by João Gilberto on July 10, 1958, by the label EMI-Odeon, is considered the initial mark of this musical genre. “Girl from Ipanema”  in turn traveled the world as the second most played song after the song “Yesterday" by the Beatles. To commemorate this great milestone, the Brazilian Music Foundation (BMF), Bossa Magazine, and Asuos Productions in partnership with Brazilian Idealists in New York,  ICA-NY, and Saphira & Ventura Gallery, will present on August 8th the Cultural Sarau - 60 Years of Bossa Nova, and one year anniversary of Bossa Magazine” The event aims to disseminate Brazilian music and art and promote the integration of artists, institutions and the general public. The date chosen also has a special meaning because that is when Idealist Day is commemorated. This is a day in which people from all over the world come together to talk and put into practice ideas for a better world, acting on local initiatives in their respective communities.  In the program, in addition to talent shows and performances by renowned musicians, the event will feature the special participation of Roberto Menescal (singer/guitarist), one of the participants in the creation of the Bossa Nova movement, telling a bit about his participation in the history of Bossa Nova. Chat via Skype.

BRAZIL: MIDYEAR ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL OUTLOOK

August 1, 2018Time: 8:00 AM to 10:30 AMLocation: Proskauer Rose LLP, New York, New York

T

Brazil is in the grips of a presidential election, marked by unusual uncertainties. A string of unprecedented corruption scandals, trials, and convictions have entangled nearly all the  political parties as well as the highest levels of government. It has created an electorate that is resentful, angry, and fed up with the political class. The anti-establishment view is widespread. Many are turning away from politics and the polls. A security/safety crisis  deepens the sense of loss and disenfranchisement and encourages extremists.

Meanwhile, the recovery from the recession has faltered and now stalled. Perhaps it is just a temporary downturn following the recent transportation strike, but GDP growth forecasts have been lowered to 1-1.5%, far from the 3-4% optimistically projected at the start of the year. There has been considerable progress in fiscal adjustment, but public debt has grown from 51.5% of GDP in 2013 to 74% today, and could soon reach 100% unless the fiscal program begun by the current administration is maintained by the next President. 

For all his unpopularity, personal and political mistakes, President Temer has been served by an exceptional economic team. He supported and maneuvered through Congress some of the fundamental reforms needed to address the fiscal risks and improve the competitiveness of the Brazilian economy. None of this is in the campaign agenda. The reforms are ill understood, maligned by powerful interest groups, and held with contempt by several of the leading contenders, who appear willing to sacrifice the economy in pursuit of electoral victory.  

Join us for our traditional mid-year outlook for a measured and forward-looking discussion of the prospects for the economy, the elections and the future of Brazil.
