ASTONISHING Racialst Self-Brainwashing -- Black Prof. Blasts His Dad for Liking Bach - Brazilians Celebrate Their Black Cultural "Frederick Douglass" with Bach

An American radical, who dedicated a book to the devil, Saul Alinsky, proposed an operating principle of "rubbing grievances raw" so radical elites can gain power at people's expense.

An example is an African-American Hunter College of CCNY music theory professor, Philip Ewell, who criticizes his Dad for liking the music of J.S. Bach.

Meanwhile, the nation of Brazil happily goes about celebrating with strongly Bach-flavored music, its cultural "Frederick Douglass", an early 20th century Black musical pioneer who fused the Afro-Portuguese culture of Brazil, (strongly Bach-influenced by composer Heitor Villalobos' "Bachianas Brasileiras" named after Bach), with the emerging early 20th century Black American Jazz music, to set the foundation for the cultural tidal-wave of Bossa Nova in the early 1960s.

The man's name is difficult to pronounce when seen in the Brazilian Portuguese spelling, but his name has a sound like "Pishinguiña", but spelled with an "x" in his name, Pixinguinha.

He was a very tall, extremely African flautist and saxophonist. A piece honoring him, lyrics by the Brazilian national poet, Vinicius de Moraes. The music is in the distinctly Bach-influenced musical style, by the eminent Brazilian-national, musician-emeritus, Toquinho ("Toquiño").

Prof. Ewell had better tell some African-heritage Brazilians that they are surrendering to cultural appropriation and obeying the commands of their oppressors by enthusiastically playing the Bach-influenced "Chorando pra Pixinguinha", "Cry for Pishinguiña".

See "Chorando pra Pixinguinha", "Cry for Pishinguiña"
