” … e’ o samba-rock meu irmão” – “it is the samba-rock my brother” (‘Bubble gum with banana’) – Gilbert Gil and Marjorie Estiano.

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

… because it’s Friday ( and because we must be hopeful)

A wonderful artist; a wonderful mind.

Eid Hadaleen, a self-taught artist from the village (Umm al-Khair), fashions perfect miniatures, using pliers, cutting and hammering tools, and iron wiring that has been heated up. (From Haaretz)
