She holds the Brazilian equivalent of the Oscar for her work in films, and her recent television program was one of the most popular shows to be seen on Sao Paulo TV. She is currently devoting all her time working with other musicologists at Sao Paulo University on the major project of capturing both on paper and tape, all extant examples of Brazilian folk music. In this film, cameras show Barrosa at her home in Sao Paulo where she delivers a lecture, almost completely in song, illustrating the history and tradition of Brazilian folk music. The cameras then follow her on a recital tour of locales in Brazil of especial importance to the folk music literature.See less
