BRAZILIAN HEART
BRAZILIAN HEART
MARCH 2010
SINCE 1998
Once in awhile I hear songs that bring me back memories of my childhood. That’s exactly what happened when my friend and musicologist Beto Gonzalez introduced me to Samba Society’s repertoire. Among the songs there is “Casinha da Marambaia” (Marambaia’s Little House) that I’ll be singing at Shoenberg Hall in UCLA on march 6th. The song was composed by Henricão and Rubens Campo, both from Rio de Janeiro, and was recorded by almost every major singer in Brasil.
Marambaia is a thin peninsula coming off the southwest end of the Rio de Janeiro area and is a property of the Brazilian Navy. Yes, this means Restinga da Marambaia is one of the rare places in Rio where Nature is still untouched.
Here’s a link to a video of Henricão singing Marambaia at a TV Program in 1973.

TED is one of the most exciting sites in the Internet. I was very happy when I found out I could watch some of its lectures for free during my flight to Houston with Virgin America this past February.

FOR YOU
One of my favorite singers from Brasil singing “Coisa da Antiga”: Clara Nunes!

“Disse afinal que o que é de verdade ninguém mais hoje liga, Isso é coisa da antiga…”
(At the end she said that nobody cares about what’s true these days, they call truth ‘a thing of the past’)
Quote from “Coisa da Antiga” by Wilson Moreira and Nei Lopes
Have a beautiful Primavera (Spring)!
