In this song, Chico Buarque praises famous Brazilian singers and compousers.

You will learn the names of some Brazilian states, and their related words:

1. Paulista - born in São Paulo
2. Pernambucano - born in Pernambuco
3. Mineiro - born in Minas Gerais
4. Baiano - born in Bahia

You will also listen to half a dozen of talented Brazilian Singers at once: Chico, Maria betânia, Djavan, Dorival, Tom Jobim and Daniela Mercury.

* Note:

In Brazil, many people move from city to city (or state) in order to get a better job. That was the case with my parents. My father came from Paraíba state, and my mother, from Minas Gerais. They met in Rio de Janeiro - where I was born! :-)

(My brother and sister-in-law had 3 children, one in each state!)

Para Todos	For All
