The almost perfect samba-choro jam-session (around 1976).
Chico Buarque just finished the lyrics upon a tune by Francis Hime (piano) and sang it. Another song by Chico Buarque & Francis Hime. A tribute to Brazilian birds and a complaint against environmental destruction. |

Really thank you very much, Guigo I checked that Clara Nunes was a splendid singer. Of course I was able to understand it because a text and an interview had subtitles. I always loved melodies of the sambas. However, I noticed that the civic sadness and sorrow and joy were included there if I watched a text. However, they do not always grieve. They always include it in a text and a melody proudly. Clara Nunes said it in an interview. And she said that music went over the border. I should know the history and the culture to be included in a samba. |

Clara Nunes (1943-1983), supreme goddess of samba.
This one goes especially to Kazuhiro: |

We had these same parades in San Francisco every year. I lived on the parade route for about 7 years and always had a guaranted front row seat from my stoop.
This was in San Francisco's well-known Latin neighborhood, "The Mission". Edited by js - 09 Oct 2011 at 8:24am |

The capital of Japan adopted the festival of the samba for local activation approximately 30 years ago. I believe that this festival is Japan and the evidence of the friendship of Brazil not to mention me. I chose some the images and was going to put it here. However, most of their clothes are a swimsuit and accessories. Therefore, I chose the image according to the rule of the site. |

Yes, Kazuhiro-san, there are more than 2 million Brazilians with Japanese ancestry and we are proud of them. Now, the so-called 'nikeys' are in the 3rd or 4th generations and totally integrated within the population.

Thank you for sharing a video. I enjoyed music of Caetano Veloso and Nara Leao which Guigo put here before. It was very high quality music. And I felt some backgrounds of the times in Brazil by a video put here today. The latter half of 60's and the first half of 70's. I was not familiar with the history, but perhaps there would be the agriculture and the political history for Brazilian people in this time. And I believe that a Japanese-Brazilian was useful for Brazil very much. The activity of the Japanese-Brazilian is a pride for Japan. There was a military regime for Brazil in 70's. And an emigrant ends the Japanese-Brazilian. However, Japan and Brazil believe that it is a friendship by Liberdade in Sao Paulo. |

Chico Buarque, back in 1966, used a ciranda (kind of Brazilian lullaby) to sing his protest too. The apparent naļvety of the lyrics hides a huge criticism toward the dictatorship when he compares the happiness of people hearing a military marching band before the coup d'etat and the situation then when soldiers where marching in a different way.
There's also a bonus here: 2 interpretations, one by Chico Buarque and the other by Nara Lećo. |

Another toada, Disparada, composed by Geraldo Vandré & Théo de Barros, sung by Jair Rodrigues, a notorious samba singer.
The toada generally deals with the suffering of the peasants and their struggle against the land barons and corrupt politicians. The wave of protest songs of late 1960s and early 1970s was represented mainly by toadas, in Brazil. Disparada, now a classic, is also a protest song against dictatorship - which can be noticed by the students' vibe during the presentation. |

Nara Lećo and Sidney Miller: a great duo.
This song isn't a samba but a toada, kind of Brazilian folk style.

Chico Buarque again:
The wheel of lifeThere are days that we feel We want to make our voices heard The world turns, big wheel, We go ahead against the tide The world turns, big wheel With her long hemline skirt, We take the iniciative, The world turns, big wheel The samba, the guitars, the rose In our hearts, the nostalgia grows The world turns, big wheel N.B.: this free translation is allowed in accordance with Brazilian laws.

Chico Buarque and his tribute to a bricklayer.
ConstructionMade love as if it were the last time Made love that time as if he were the best Made love that time as if he were a machine For this bread to eat, for this ground to sleep

Fellows, I'm making a soft lobby in order to have Sidney Miller's musical biography written by his older sister. Let's see if I'll succeed.
