Bachianas Brasileiras consist of a series of nine suites by the Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, written for various combinations of instruments and voices between 1930 and 1945. Each represents a fusion between Brazilian folk and popular music and the
style of Johann Sebastian Bach. Thus, their name ‘BACHianas’.
