[515ffa]

Wonderful family, great job!

[MrLino]

What a superb cover, you really speak portuguese really well! Much better than a lot of brazilians i know hahahaha!

I was wondering, if, by any chance, if you could record a guitar lesson for this song? Or if you have the site where you learned it, it would be really helpful too. I've been trying to learn this piece, but i can't find a tab in the correct key/ correct progression.

Thanks and again, congratulations on your cover!

[ivobsbpereira91]

Great job! You speak portuguese very well!

[nilsonbjr]

Muito show!!!! Apreciadores da MPB em outro país,maravilhoso!!! Parabéns a voces de Rio das Ostras,RJ

[MrTiagoCCosta]

Great! Congratulations. It's a very beautiful and graceful interpretation. However, you may consider that the beauty of this song is inseparable from its strong historical meaning and context. It subtly expresses the indignation at the violent opression and lack of free speech during the military dictatorship in Brazil, which was backed by the US government in order to weaken Brazilian political soberany and social development on behalf of multinational companies' interests.

Cheers :)

[Deedeoo]

i may say that thats just WONDERFUL! It's awesome to hear a brazilian (my country) song sung by foreigns! Congrats, guys!

[FaeLBRC2]

I think pretty much watch people from other countries singing our songs ..  Viva Bossa Nova , Viva Brasil , Viva MPB

I would hear you playing A Banda-Chico Buarque or Samba Do Grande Amor-Chico Buarque

It's a suggestion

You are great!

Keep it up!

kisses

[swingbossa]

Muito obrigado and domo arigato! I LOVE your username!

We were working on A Banda, and should really do it. We actually do Samba do Grande Amor, but haven't made a video yet. We'll put it on the list.

Abraços de Chicago!

Quixeramobim to be more specific.

Just kidding , You guys rox, Bossa Nova and Chico Buarque isn´t my favorites , but I recognize good music wen I listen.

[ksilveira]

[ZedCaolhoBR]

Não força baitola! 'jeitinho brasileiro' e 'emoção no ritmo' de cú é rola. Não tem o que comentar fica calado.

Hi there you three! You're amazing!! I'm a big fan of Chico Buarque, in fact I've been to one of his concerts two weeks a go!! It was a dream come true, really! Hey, I'm attending a conference in Texas and I'm watching this video in your country now! It makes me think of Brazil. I wish I could meet you one day. I'll post a video response to this video soon. Congratulations you all! All the best.

[negromonte85]

Great. Im just love Chico. Your biggest fan. And i´m loving that videos, keep playing. Have you ever come to Brazil??

[SquireSimon]

what a voice!

[rkderj]

great stuff!

[troubleclef]

Thanks for this. Super job and you guys look like you have a lot of fun doing it.

[swingbossa]

You're most welcome, Tony. It's always fun when we get together to play; seems like someone should be coming to collect an Enjoyment Tax on us someday.

[joadha]

If anything, BOTH of you should levy an Enjoyment Tax on your respective YouTube audiences. I humbly volunteer to be your collector.

[ENGLISHCYPRIOT]

Another exellent music video,i agree don't you think

marylee looks hot with her glasses.

[swingbossa]

Thanks, and YES YES YES!

[art2liv4]

That's spex appeal, EnglishCypriot. About the third or fourth time I met my sweetie, she had taken out her contacts and put on her glasses. I complimented her, and I don't think she's worn her contacts since!

[lcvd1]

Obrigado pela Canção! Sou um grande fã de Chico Buarque é de VCS, agora ;-) I just keep enjoying your versions of these Bossa novas. I am in Hoffman Estates, so I will see when I can find a day to go see you.

[swingbossa]

Thank you, and we'll look forward to seeing you at a show sometime.

[joadha]

Love the harmonies and counterpoint. It must be a lot of fun when every band member can sing! Great job, yinz.

[pollyesther]

Very nice indeed! Waaaay better than the original... those guys are a bunch of stiffs ;)

[swingbossa]

Take that, MPB4! :-)

[brazilianposer]

Thanks for spreading the news, adam. I feel MUCH better now that everyone can know what my shirt said.

[sonnenberg]

Sounds great.  Love the glasses, ML!

P

[brazilianposer]

Thanks, Paul. In my ongoing quest to find a husband through Youtube, I'm experimenting with all kinds of looks... aka, the shotgun approach... something for everyone. :)

[sonnenberg]

Honey: relax. You are a prize beyond measure.  Let 'em come to you.

P

[lunalunanueva]

You guys are always nice to hear :)

Thanks!

If I ever visit Chicago again, I would definitely go where you are playing and see you live!!!

[swingbossa]

Thanks. I was hoping we wouldn't end up like Spinal Tap trying to sing harmony to "Heartbreak Hotel" at Elvis's grave at Graceland.

[mostlybossa]

real nice ! The harmonies worked very well!

[rmboemer]

great one adam...where is janet?

[swingbossa]

She was working, so she missed it! She also missed the tacos al pastor (marinated pork) from the great little Mexican restaurant we get takeout from. Poor Janet!

[hopper1]

It seems to me that you have a different guitar with each new video. Share the collection with us ;)

[redckened]

beautiful; I would really like to see you guys live; let us know if you guys are planning to have a show or something like that;

[swingbossa]

We play twice a week in Chicago, if you're ever in town!

[midnightmoonshine]

Thanks for another great song- you guys always bring a smile to my face. Mercedez looks especially enchanting for this piece...

[PolaScalzo]

great people!

while i m uploading let it be you upload roda viva!

rsrsrs

and how sweet your american acent!

:o)

i think i ll record a brazilian song with this accent! it s so cute!

rsrs

[swingbossa]

I'm glad you like our American accents; I know I find portuguese a bit daunting to pronounce sometimes, but that never stops us, obviously. I would love to hear what your version of our accents sounds like!

[PolaScalzo]

count on me, swing, i ll record something for you, and i ll signalise!

rsrsrs
