"Without music, life would be a mistake" F. Nitezsche
I'm going to write about Brazilian music and how much I love the music coming from that country. There's a singer I like, who I first listened to because of the film "Fast & Furious 5", which is not the kind of films I like but as it has Brazil as a setting, I watched part of it and just by coincidence the part where this song appears.

This singer is called Obando D2 and the name of the song is "Dasafabo deixa eu dizer", which literally means "Relief let me tell you", or something like that... I know very little about this singer but I think he's been singing for a long time because he has more than one hundred songs. He's in hip-hop and he's one of many singers who rap about the situation in Brazil, about poverty and crime in the favelas. Just like Os Paralamas do Suceso and other bands have also sung to protest as well as the many documentaries about their reality.
I like this song because of the lyrics, where he talks about what is to live in a favela and how he'd like Brazil to be. I'm interested in Brazilian culture, specially because I practice capoeira and I hope I can continue practicing it. With the different teachers we had and friends from there, who now live in Chile, (plus one or two boyfriends, I've learn't a great deal about the way Brazilians are... and they are a lot. The current population estimate for 2018 es 210.87 million.
Here you have the first song I mentioned:

I can't help including Antonio Carlos Jobim, the greatest bossa nova singer ever...

Wow, i knew this song in Brazil too. The name of the singer is Marcelo. But the music that I most enjoyed in Brazil, are the songs of Maria Bethania and Zeca Pagodinho. Pagode is a cool music from Brazil.

I really enjoy listen boosa nova, is very relaxing for me, but is very complicated to play in a violin.
ReplyDeleteThe music is really good, I'll listen to it more often.
ReplyDeleteI don't like this kind of music but recently I found a Brazilian band called Liniker e os Caramelows and I loved them. Their music is very cheerful and powerful

This kind of music is really good and very relaxing, but definitely I stay with zamba. I like the choreography and the carnival in Brazil n.n
ReplyDeleteI remember that one day I talked about this topic with some friends, and how brazilian music has mixed traits between caribean and south american music. Also how this style is so popular in Brazil, Like Vai Malandra, where they show the lifestyle of the fabelas.
ReplyDeleteA friend participates in a Brazilian music band.
ReplyDeleteI think it's very funny (:
