I will start posting my favorite Brazilian music. I hope you will enjoy it. Here is Marisa Monte singing Gentileza. This song is about a street poet called Gentileza (Kindness) who died a few years ago. For more than 40 years he wrote poems in the concrete walls of Rio de Janeiro. He was an intriguing person who smiled to everyone and gave flowers to strangers. Love was the main theme of his poems. A few years ago Rio citizens started preserving the poems written under the bridge close to the bus station after some government official had sent someone to cover them with gray paint. You will probably see his poems when you pass there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKnVAZHehV0&feature=related
