Prepara! Who is Anita in Brazil?

Well... It is not a great pleasure but it is being a huge social media success.
She cames from Rio de Janeiro.
You should as for MC Anita - again, very popular, you can say vulgar.
I hardly tried to make an association between this music "Show das Podererosas" *Power Girl's Show with Destiny's Child in Independent Women.

Up to you:

Anitta *my translation of Show das Poderosas

Get ready , now is the time
The powerful girl's show time
Dancing and moving
Putting out the others
Out with the jealous girls!
That can't not dance like the powerful girls...
just look
Get ready!

If I am not on mood , I will just walk away
But when I start to dance , I go crazy , you know
My army is heavy , and we have power
Teasing people like you !
Go !

Loose the sound , which is to see me dancing
So you'll be drooling
For the prom to see me dancing
Draws attention to the wonder
Loses the line , gets mad

Prepare , now is the time
The show of powerful
Going down , roll around
Confront the fiery
Only those that bother
Expel the jealous
What are the bat when playing
Prepare

If you 're not at ease , where I walked out
When I start to dance , I go crazy , I know
My army is heavy , and we have power
Threat things like You !
Go !

The sound , and you will see me dancing
So you'll be drooling
Came to party to see me dancing
I got your attention to love me
Get mad and loose your mind






Destiny's Child - Independent Women

Piradinha... same "Delicia"!

Not Michel Telo... but almost.

Piradinha - Little Crazy

Main soap opera is "Amor a Vida", it has peculiar caracter and the hot hit in popular radios...  not sure I will be patient enough to translate the lyrics.

Piri, pipire, pipire, pire piradinha
Ela tá maluca, ela Ta doidinha

Piri, pipire, pipire, pire piradinha
Ela ta doidona, fora da casinha

Ela não anda, ela desfila
Quando chega na festa
Arrasa na pista

A galera olha
Todo mundo que pegar
Mais ela tá de boa
Só querendo dançar

Mais de pois de um tempo
Bebe e fica piradinha
Ela desçe do salto
A gatinha perde a linha 

Why you should live in Sao Paulo?

Sometimes, I would say why you should not do it...
Today, I found an answer in famous/cliche - famous video "Wear Sunscreen" - that I wish to beliave that was written by Kurt Vonnegut....

The part when it says:
"Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft." 

You can read it as "Live in Sao Paulo City once, but leave before it makes you hard"

Capirinha - English Instructions and Family Tradition

Capirinha Original  in English– my father at least...

01 lemon small size(not sicilian!)

02 tea spoons of white sugar (well, I prefer mine with more, up to you)

70 ml of Cachaça  * is a liquor made from fermented sugarcane juice.

It is the most popular distilled alcoholic beverage in Brazil. It is also known as aguardente, pinga, caninha

50 ml of water

Ice Cubes

First, peel off the lemon the green layer and the white layer. Slice the lemon in four parts. Remove the seeds and the white part from inside. Mix the sugar and macerated – not much. Then add the liquor, the water and complete with iced cubes. You can make it stronger putting less water and more liquor.

My father special touch is, not putting water. Just 80 ml of liquor and complete with just ice cubes…. Then waiting for 10 minutes. The flavours will blend and the pure ice will make the drink cold. Just mix gently and enjoy! 

Samba Saravah on Francais, portuguese and English translation (globalization is the keY)

Yes!!! Stacey Kent is amazing doing it... the lyrics had this main message: "it is better to be happy than sad" - at least try is not so painful.

French Samba Saravah...

Original: Samba da Bencao (Blessing Samba)

And a new a bit out of the usual by Daniela Mercury, just a small part but interest- Axe Music (diversity is the key)

Lyrics: Samba Saravah

It's better to be happy than sad
Happiness is the best thing there is
It is like a light in the heart
But to make a samba with beauty
It's needed a bit of sadness
If not the samba can't be made

To make a samba is not like telling a joke
And who makes samba like this is worth nothing
The good samba is a kind of prayer
Because samba is the sadness that sways
And sadness is always hopeful
Of one day not being sad any more

Put a little love in the cadence
And you'll see that in this world nobody wins
The beauty that a samba have
Because samba was born in Bahia
And if today it is white in it's poetry
It is very black in it's heart 

New good brazilian music... Sax with Zest of Brazilian Flavour.

Saturday is not day of deep talks about politics... Michel Telo is bad bad brazilian music, but we have very new generation of musicians out of the mainstrain.
It is well know that Sax is not very typical brazilian sound, but Monte Pascoal from Belo Horizonte city makes an remarkable work.

Website to check agenda, not sure they have international tours.
Monte Pascoal
I don't know why they have this name, but Monte Pascoal was how portuguese called the first piece of land when they arrive here.

YouTube... my fav.

Facebook contact... almost sure they can't use Twitter.

Disclosure of interest: i am brazilian...

What is going on on Rio? July/2013

Strong street manifestation agains the governador Sergio Cabral is sharing the attention during the Pope Francis first official trip in Brazil.

Again, popular street manifestation asking for ... a lot of stuff, basic stuff: quality of life and end of corruption can be the main motivation.

Sergio Cabral's approval falls 12%, well... Dilma's approvals were more damage.

If you are in doubt, if it is safe in Rio now? Consider check information about some future manifestation, most of them are highly organized and scheduled days before. I would not change my personal plans to visit the city.
