about

A samba song from Brazil, initially recorded in 1939 by Carmen Miranda, then again in 1940 as part of a legendary yet, for decades, unreleased recording Native Brazilian Music, a joint U.S./Brazilian goodwill endeavor coordinated on the Brazilian end by iconic composer Heitor Villa-Lobos. The original is an embolada, a fast-paced, often-improvised song style popular in northeastern Brazil in which vocalists challenge each other, competing lightly based on verbal and vocal ability. Found on the Smithsonian Folkways album, Music of the World’s Peoples: Vol. 3.
