Samba is the joy expressed through the pain of living. Carnival is the expresion of joy that has come out uf hundreds of years of oppression, from slavery to prohibition, to the glorious rebellion against all of this and the JOY of expressing our culture and our faith! Songs dedicated to joy in carnival, to the icons that inspired carnivals, to the firm affirmation of Brazilian msuic’s African roots, to the communities and favelas that created the genre, to the protest songs that supported the movement of Carnaval and highlighted its importance. We feature drum rhythms and songs dedicated to the orixás, the backbone of this culture, and hear their echos through modern samba. And of course, some of the most iconic samba enredos that have led the legendary parades down the famous Avenida. Featuring a live recording on a bateria from the sambodrome itself, exclusive on this show. From the roots of recorded samba to the most modern incarnations of it, this is a voyage through the genre, a genre that breathes and heaves with joy. These tracks question inequality and reclaim the roots at the centre of this glorious genre - ending on an acoustic version of my samba school’s anthem that asks the questions : O Lord, O Lord, Has Slavery Truly Ended? —This is Carnaval, where Joy is Resistance.

There are multiple artists named Bob Stewart:
aka Robert John (R.J.) Stewart - Born in Edinburgh, Scotland. His father came from a Gaelic speaking family originally from the Western Highlands and his mother was Welsh, from a Welsh speaking family originally from the Gower Peninsula in South Wales, with a tradition (embodied by three spinster great-aunts) of singing and playing the Welsh triple-harp. He is known today as a composer, author and teacher. Bob Stewart released The Unique Sound of the Psaltery on Argo in 1975. http://www.dreampower.com/rjbio.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RobertJohnStewart#Discography
Bob Stewart is an American jazz tubist. He was born in 1945 in Sioux Falls. He is a freelance concert artist, educator, and studio musician. Mr. Stewart has received his Bachelor of Music Education degree from the Philadelphia College of the Performing Arts and his Masters in Education at Lehman College Graduate School. Former faculty of the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, he has been involved with public education for over twenty years and also teaches privately. He is now a professor at the Juilliard School and is a "Distinguished Lecturer" at Lehman College.
Bob has toured and recorded with such artists as Charles Mingus, Gil Evans, Carla Bley, David Murray, Taj Mahal, Dizzy Gillespie, McCoy Tyner, Arthur Blythe, Freddie Hubbard, Don Cherry, Nicholas Payton, Wynton Marsalis, Charlie Haden, Lester Bowie and many others both in the United States, Europe and the Far East. "The Tuba, as you know, was phased out of most ensembles around 1923 with the introduction of the "walking" upright bass. Since then it has only been in the last 20 years that composers and arrangers have begun hearing the instrument. As a result, there are more instances in which the Tuba appears in ensemble work."
Bob Stewart is able to bring the sounds of the past into the present day with his own, unique, soulful flare.
