"Without a country in which to live, a field to plant, a love to cherish or a voice to sing, one is dead." in Brazil: Songs of Protest, Zelia Barbosa describes the hardships of plantation workers who are exploited by the landowners; of inhabitants of the slums who leave their families for work and wait for a raise they will never receive; of people forced to abandon their homes because of drought. Backed by guitar and percussion, Barbosa turns popular music into a vehicle of expression and action for the Brazilian people.
