Taking a Stand
In the early 1900s, the friends of João Pernambuco took a stand for him. They were afraid that his job at the steel foundry in Rio de Janeiro could injure his hands and destroy his ability to play. They recognized his immense talent and found a safer job for him: laying cobblestones on the streets of Rio! He went on to have a great influence on all of Brazilian music, including composers such as Villa-Lobos and Gnattali, and guitarists such as Garoto. He even influenced Django Reinhardt. None of his beautiful music would be with us if his friends had not taken that stand.
