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.

An essential figure of Brazilian culture throughout the last 50 years, the author, playwright, and composer of an extraordinary compilation of songs, Chico Buarque engages in a dialogue with his own recollections in this film by Miguel Faria Jr. Chico’s search for his German brother, whom he never got to meet (his father had a son in Berlin before getting married to Chico's mother), serves as one of the axis for the narrative and helps put the artist’s trajectory into perspective. “It is an artist revisiting his own past from a mature point of view,” summarizes Faria Jr.

Jorge Mário da Silva was born in 1970 in Belford Roxo in Rio de Janeiro, and soon knew that he wanted to be a musician. He went through several jobs since he was 10 years old, was a frequenter of dances and samba wheels in Rio and started singing early in the evening. He left home at age 19 and was a homeless for a few years, where he made his first contact with the theater. Discovered by clarinetist Paulo Moura, he auditioned for a musical and since then his life has completely changed.
Seu Jorge (nickname given by friend and drummer Marcelo Yuka) achieved his first professional achievement as a musician in 1998: member of the band Farofa Carioca, released the album Moro in Brazil in Portugal, Japan and Brazil. In 2001 he released the first solo album Samba Esporte Fino, produced by Mário Caldato and Seu Jorge, mixed and mastered in Los Angeles. The following year he composed with Ed Motta the song "Has space in the Van" and also realized the project of samba of high party called Caatinga of Swing, with presentations in a nightclub in the zone south of Rio and Skol Rio.
During the carnival of 2006 he recorded a documentary for the BBC of London, whose theme was his life, aired on the South Bank Show program, and then shown in Brazil, the United States and Europe. In April, she opened the shows of the singer, Cesaria Évora, in New York, Boston and Washington, and in May Seu Jorge received Gilles Petterson and CNN in his house for the recording of a program broadcast all over the world. Between June and July, he toured the USA and Canada, performing 21 shows in 29 days, including the closing of the Miami Film Festival; Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester; Stern Grove Festival in San Francisco; Coastal Jazz Festival in Vancouver; Summerstage Festival in Central Park, New York; Montreal Jazz Festival; Quebec City Summer Festival, among others, with acclaim from the American public and media, which gave him extra energy to stretch the tour throughout the UK and Portugal.
In 2011 he released the album Músicas para Churrasco Vol. 1, and on November 20 of the same year, on the national day of the black conscience, he recorded the DVD with public success. The launch came 1 year later, on the same date. Seu Jorge defines himself as a popular singer and composer, who likes many musical genres, but whose foundation is samba: Samba is our truth, our particularity, our gold medal, our bulwark, our Brazilian standard.

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.
Come and be part of this historical celebration! Do you have a talent?
Come and join us!
