Additional info/contents	The beaches of Rio de Janeiro are world-famous; the same goes for Brazilian music which is equally famous, because of its individual character. Many composers drew their inspiration from these Latin-American sounds; one of them was the Dutch composer Malando. The population is a mixture of many races: whites, blacks and the original Amerindians. The specific talents of these groups have blended into what is known as Brazilian music: the melodic intervals of the original population, the rhythm of the black group and the chords and structures of the white race. This mixture not only created very beautiful music, it also produced very beautiful people. All this can be traced on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. Especially during the "Carnaval de Rio" the festivities seem to have no end. The composer named the three movements after these famous beaches in Rio: Trocadero, Ipanema and Copacabana.
