“Brazil (Aquarela do Brasil)” by Beirut (Ary Barroso cover)
If you read my regular Tumblr, you’ll know that I am a huge Beirut fan. This cover was done on March 16, 2007 live on KLRU.

This song marked the creation of a new genre, the samba-exaltação (Exaltation Samba), which was looked upon favorably by the nationalist dictatorship of Getúlio Vargas.
