Name: Favela
Duration: P00H02M46S
Description: Favela is a little modal tune in an uptempo Samba style, that features a tambourine-like Brazilian percussion instrument called the pandeiro. We don't have an English translation (why this tune is not as well known).. The lyrics are a bit of a protest but it's a little vague..... some day we will gather our voices and sing and dance and beat the drums but it doesn't tell us to what end..

lyrics

O morro não tem vez
E o que ele fez já foi demais
Mas olhem bem vocês
Quando derem vez ao morro
Toda a cidade vai cantar

Morro pede passagem
Morro quer se mostrar
Abram alas pro morro
Tamborim vai falar
É um, é dois, é três
É cem, é mil a batucar

O morro não tem vez
Mas se derem vez ao morro
Toda a cidade vai cantar

about

Chuva Boa Portland, Oregon

Colleen Kitchen and Laura Zaerr have played together for many years, so we thought we'd do Latin Jazz on the harp and see where it takes us. Along the way we added Kevin Ronkko on percussion and very recently Ron Green on bass.
