- <p> Brazil has cast a spell over David Byrne, but so far he's
- kept his head. He recently compiled an album of Brazilian pop
- music and has now created a PBS documentary on candomble, a
- religious culture in Bahia that combines earthy, sensual music
- and dance. Its believers think the gods can literally take them
- over; when that happens, the ecstatic followers fall into a
- trance. During the filming, Byrne cautiously got into the
- spirit. "I clapped or prostrated myself when it was
- appropriate," he said. "But I never went into a trance. That
- wouldn't have been polite."
