The constitution of the Brazilian people is made up by three major ethnic groups: the Indigenous, European and African, who mingled and formed what is known as the Brazilian culture. One of the most significant platform from this culture certainly is the music. In the second half of the nineteenth century and in the early twentieth, music began to be valued as national production and now is currently as diverse and significant as estimated. The book-report Best Regards: letters and other reflections on the backgrounds of Brazilian popular music makes an analysis of the reality of Brazilian popular music and its origins from experimental texts such as personal letters and fictional interviews based on actual statements about some of the most representative musicians of the early twentieth century - Assis Valente, Cartola, Chiquinha Gonzaga, Luiz Gonzaga and Noel Rosa - when the recently independent country began to establish their own particular culture. In these texts is possible, besides of knowing the biography and the pieces of these artists, compare historical contexts experienced back there with the country's current situation.
