Their innovative approaches to sound texturing and arrangement are seen as precursors and\/or inspirations for diverse music-makers in the 1990s in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/perrone\/files\/zeolho.jpg\" alt=\"zeolho\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/perrone\/files\/tomzetortoise.jpg\" alt=\"tomzetortoise\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>John Harvey was musical director at WTUL (New Orleans).\u00a0 He has a doctoral degree from Tulane University in Latin American literature.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Links<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomze.com.br\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.tomze.com.br<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.luakabop.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.luakabop.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/perrone\/publications\/brazilian-popular-music-and-globalization\/brazilian-popular-music-and-globalization-contents\/\">Contents<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/perrone\/publications\/welcome-aboard-bem-vindos-a-bordo\/\">Main page<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1075,"featured_media":0,"parent":195,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"featured_post":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-240","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/perrone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/perrone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/perrone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/perrone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1075"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/perrone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/perrone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/240\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":628,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/perrone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/240\/revisions\/628"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/perrone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/perrone\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
