About the book:

"It Began in Ipanema", released on paperbag by @sorry_press, tells the story of Rio de Janeiro through 50 songs. From bossa nova and samba to baile funk, Daniel Haaksman traces more than a century of music and the city that made it. Moving beyond the postcard image of Ipanema and Copacabana, the book travels from the beach to the hills, from global myth to favela realities. Each song opens a different window onto Rio — its history, contradictions, longing, resistance and rhythm. Part essay, part travelogue, part musical deep dive, the book creates a sensual map of one of the world’s greatest music cities. A journey through Rio with your ears wide open. Best read while listening.

In short:
“This book is like a bible”
