Carnaval!

Quanto riso, quanta alegria!! Hoje é carnaval!!
Many smiles,  much happiness!! Today is carnival!!

This is an old carnival song (Máscara Negra) that I really like. Since carnival starts this weekend and goes until Wednesday, I thought I should add something here in the blog warning that business will slow down a lot for a few days. If you send emails to Brazil in the next few days, you might not get a quick answer until the 25th.

At some point I will post about Brazilian music and culture. For now I leave you with a great singer performing a sambinha (samba music we sing in bars) click on Maria Rita sings Conversa de Botequim .
