or how to put the American and the Brazilian grooves together … 🙂
Só ponho bebop no meu samba
Quando o tio Sam pegar no tamborim
Quando ele pegar no pandeiro e no zabumba
Quando ele entender que o samba não é rumba
Aí eu vou misturar Miami com Copacabana
Chicletes eu misturo com banana
E o meu samba vai ficar assim
Quero ver a grande confusão
É o samba-rock, meu irmão
Mas em compensação
Quero ver o boogie-woogie de pandeiro e violão
Quero ver o tio Sam de frigideira
Numa batucada brasileira
Quero ver o tio Sam de frigideira
Numa batucada brasileira
Quero ver a grande confusão
É o samba-rock, meu irmão
the good and the beautiful around us 
I love Brazilian music, thanks for sharing this fabulous video Fabio. Music is our universal language! Thanks again.
So glad that you liked it, Sharon! He is one of the best songwriters and performers that I have ever seen. Cheers, my friend! 🙂
Matching fine! Music has no limits.

Hi, my friend,
Here is a free translation of the lyrics:
I only put bebop to my samba
When Uncle Sam plays the tamborim
When he plays the tambourine and drum
When he realizes that samba is not rumba
Then I will mix Miami with Copacabana
Bubble gum with banana
And my samba will be like this
I want to see the big mess
It’s the samba-rock, my brother
To level off
I want to see the boogie-woogie playing tambourine and guitar
I want to see Uncle Sam playing pan
In a Brazilian groove
I want to see Uncle Sam playing pan
In a Brazilian groove
Thank you!
🙂
With a samba air, I wish you a good week my dear Fabio.
Let’s play the samba and dance, my dear Herve’! Merci, mon cher ami! 🙂
