FOOTNOTES
	1 Film: Born in 1913 in Rio de Janeiro, the composer of Bossa Nova Vinicius de Morães was witness to and played a great part in the city's transformation, creating for himself one of the most significant journeys in Brazilian culture of the twentieth century. A sensitive insight into the life of the poet, this film attracted the crowds in Brazil, in 2005. Directed by Miguel Faria Jr (O Xangô de Baker Street), with Camila Morgado and Ricardo Blat, the film is partly narrated by Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Edu Lobo and Gilberto Gil, and has performances by Adriana Calcanhoto, Zeca Pagodinho, Yamandu Costa. A must for lovers of Bossa Nova. (2005)
	2 Led by acclaimed singer Monica Vasconcelos, and supported by saxophone, acoustic guitar and drums/percussion, Nois 4 play traditional Brazilian folk music alongside samba, bossa nova and gentle jazz. Born in Sao Paulo, and learning her vocal and songwriting crafts there, Monica has performed at world class venues, including The Barbican, and many major festivals. She has supported both Brazilian gods of song such as Gilberto Gil, and British gods of pop and jazz including Brian Ferry and Courtney Pine. Sung in Portuguese, and introduced in English, each poetic song Nois 4 play is distinctive, exploring different aspects of Brazilian heritage, rhythm and melody warm and evocative, this is world music at its best! The aural equivalent of the sun on your face, and an antidote to SAD Sunday Tribune
	3 Professional kiteboarders including Rui Meira and Bruna Kajiya take to the waves for a stunning aerial tricks display on the beautiful beaches of Joao Pessoa, Paraiba
	4 Aled Jones talks to choir director Celso Antunes about the choral tradition in Brazil and introduces a specially recorded concert of Brazilian music by the BBC Singers
	5 John of God. Documentary series about different types of healers. John of God, one of the world's most popular healers, is a psychic surgeon who operates on people without any anaesthetic. Known as The Miracle Man, his healing centre in Brazil has rooms full of discarded crutches and wheelchairs and thousands of British people travel out to see him every year.
	6 Brazil take on their former colonial masters in a friendly at the Emirates Stadium. This will be the second time that Portugal coach Big Phil Scolari's team play his home nation. Last time they met Brazilian-born Deco, scored the winning free kick in his international debut for Portugal. Since Dunga took over as the Samba Boys' coach there has been a positive reaction with the players recording victory after victory. The former midfield lynchpin has cleared out the dead wood, namely Ronaldo and Adriano, and given debuts to new talent. They trounced old enemy Argentina 3-0 at the Emirates last autumn with a fabulous goal from Kaka after he had dribbled half the pitch. Of course, Portugal have their very own Ronaldo, who is currently absolutely on fire for Manchester United.
	7 A series that sets out to show how different countries, communities and individuals are responding to the challenges of globalisation.
	8 Film: Cinebiography of Heitor Villa-Lobos, the most important classical music composer of the Americas. The story begins with Villa-Lobos, already an old man, leaving to go to a gala tribute concert on his behalf, at Rio's Municipal Theatre. It would be the last time that the maestro would leave his house alive. It is from his feverish and alert gaze in this scene and from others at the same concert, that we are treated to memories of his lifes work. The film, directed by Zelito Viana, includes a great cast, reuniting António Fagundes, Marieta Severo, José Wilker, Marcos Palmeira and Letícia Spiller. Dir Zelito Vianna (2000)

	12 It may not be the country's official capital but when holidaymakers pack their bags they head for Rio the 'Entertainment City' of South America and heart of the Samba and the Bossa Nova.

	13 Manaus is growing so quickly, the animals can't get out quickly enough. Jeff teams up with a one-man rescue team to relocate some tamarins.
	14 Film: An affectionate portrait of the singer songwriter and instrumentalist Paulinho da Viola, one of the biggest representatives of Brazilian music.

	19 Brazilian practice Vazio S/A explores the nature of urban voids through multidisciplinary projects. Topographical Amnesia is a temporary intervention in a disused architectural void, turning it into a unique space where architecture, landscape design and environmental upgrading create the backdrop for a play.
	21 Heroes of The Amazon. Deep in the upper reaches of the Amazon Basin live many remarkable characters whose daily lives in the modern '90s resemble that of fictitious story book characters. This film captures the true essence of the Amazon: its legendary wild jungles and its superb array of wildlife seen through the eyes of some outstanding personalities. In a series of expeditions through the upper Amazon into Colombia Ecuador Peru and Brazil adventurer Greg Grainger takes us to meet many of these living legends
	22 Film: This film follows the everyday life of four shanty town dwellers in Rio de Janeiro. What they have in common is a passion for rap, and the film witnesses the dreams, dramas and transformations that the four protagonists go through. From this angle, the film is a record of today's Rio de Janeiro. Directed by Guilherme Coelho, Fala Tu was awarded Best Documentary in the Film Festival of The Americas in 2004, and was part of the official selection in the international film festivals of Berlin and Miami. (2004)
	23 Film: This film tells the story of Zezé di Camargo and Luciano, the double act responsible for various sucesses in Brazilian country music. Illuminating important moments in the brothers lives, the film shows them from the beginning of their career, going through various family crises before reaching stardom in the public eye.

In this show he's in Rio de Janeiro, where local hostel owner Newton demonstrates how to prepare Fejouda, Brazil's most famous dish, and Dan hits the beach to enjoy a few caipirinhas - the potent local cocktail of sugar-cane alcohol and limes
	25 Film: Three blind sisters, linked by this extraordinary twist of fate, spend their lives singing and playing ganz� for spare change on the streets and in the street markets of poverty stricken northeast Brazil. This documentary follows the daily chores of these women and how they survive on their own. Their immersing story, that not without humor, depicts a complex tale of love and death, anguish and art. The story accompanies them in the unexpected turn in their lives as a result of the film; the cinema effect which transforms them into celebrities. Both the director and the subjects of the film face the ties that bind them, revealing the risks and seduction of the documentarians work. (2003)
