“Quero ser lembrado como o sanfoneiro que amou e cantou muito seu povo, o sertão; que cantou as aves, os animais, os padres, os cangaceiros, os retirantes, os valentes, os covardes, o amor. Este sanfoneiro viveu feliz por ver o seu nome reconhecido por outros poetas, Quero ser lembrado como o sanfoneiro que cantou muito o seu povo, que foi honesto, que criou filhos, que amou a vida, deixando um exemplo de trabalho, de paz e amor". Luiz Luz Gonzaga " Gonzagão"
Forró in the Dark with David Byrne – Asa Branca lyrics
ResponderExcluirWhen I heard the land was burning
Like the bonfires of São João
I asked God up there in His heaven
What is happening to us now?
What a hellfire, what a furnace,
Not a tree was left alive
And all my cattle, they lay there dying
Even my horse, dear, did not survive
And the white winged dove has flown now,
Far away from this burnt land
And so I say now, adeus Rosinha,
Know in my heart I’ll be back again
Now I live in this big city,
Such a long, long way away
But when I hear that the rain is falling,
Back to my home I’ll return someday
And the land one day will blossom,
Like the green that’s in your eyes
And I assure you, my dear Rosinha,
I will be back here, right by your side
What started as a Brazilian birthday party became a sweat inducing dance party that has lasted almost every week of now 4 years! Now with the launch of Nublu Records, and special appearances from famous musicians including David Byrne, Miho Hatori (of Ciba Matto), and Brazilian songstress Bebel Gilberto, Forro in the Dark is steadily introducing the genre across the globe. This video featuring David Byrne was produced & directed by one of the many great artists we house over at Nublu, Karina Correa.
