Carmen Miranda - Week-end in Havana [1941]

[victorn1802]

If she is not Brazilian, then why did she sing a music entirely about Brazil?

Why did she always say that she is Brazilian?

She is a Portuguese-born Brazilian.

[LadyTwentySeven]

Não aguento mais ler comentários sobre Carmen Miranda do tipo: "Mas ela era portuguesaaa!" Babacas! Ela podia ter nascido até na Suécia se Deus assim o quisesse, mas era muito mais brasileira que muito brasileiro que se envergonha das origens. Palmas pra ela eternamente!

[missartist123]

so THIS is the lady that bugs bunny impersonated.

[hebneh]

When you watch Carmen ripping through this tongue-twister, remember that she had to sing the song first to record it, and then she lip-synched with the recording when she filmed it. And who knows how many times she had to shoot this scene to get it just right?

[fanwuren]

The headpiece has just enough fruit.... LOL

[thomas58ish]

azulo65, I am with you! What a gifted, unique, and charismatic entertainer. Didn't she suffer a fatal heart attack while appearing on live television?

[azulo65]

Beautiful woman! Fantastic entertainer!! :D

[fabioprumo]

She was born in Portugal and moved to Brazil when she was a little baby... that's why she always said "I'm pround to be brazilian and represent Brazil in USA"

[paraarthur]

Ela era incrível!!!!

[roberv38REC]

Verdade. Não tem substituta. Verdadeira primeira POP STAR do MIUNDO, autência, sem os artificialismos tecnológicos de hoje.

[TropiBrazil]

Daqui a pouco vão falar que a sambista é chinesa!

[sebmellovip]

A carmen tem vestidas as cores da bandeira nacional portuguesa - verde e vermelho!

[gs31100]

[guerrax22]

[guerrax22]

"DON'T FORGET BRAZIL IS AN EXTENSION OF PORTUGAL"

[lavvy2585]

[JenJenEL]

Carmen is the best! I just bought a framed 8 X 10 of her.... such a cute and original persona!

[Celluloidkid]

Carmen Miranda was born in the small northern Portuguese town of Marco de Canaveses to Portuguese parents! Shortly after her birth, her father, José Maria, emigrated to Brazil and settled in Rio de Janeiro, then the capital of Brazil!

[hamza132]

Damn stupid NORTH AMERICANS !

Rio de Janeiro is not more the capital of Brazil jerk.

[Celluloidkid]

This scared the crap out of me!!

[BrunoV1998]

She is from my city Marco de Canaveses Portugal.

[manga12]

she had a style of music and samba named after her I heard. her costuming was very outlandish for sure, but I have seen better singers in american musicals that were forign born

[logibear64]

She was such a pretty lady but they always made her wear that stupid fruit hat and two-layers of make up. She was attractive and funny without that garb.

[SModikoane]

That was her schtick.

She was portuguese, but moved to Brazil when she was a little girl.

[Marllon]

Ten months of age to be exact. She is a Portuguese-born Brazilian.

[maxxbeefyboy]

She moved to Brazil when she was a little baby man. DON'T FORGET BRAZIL IS AN EXTENSION OF PORTUGAL. 60% of the Brazilians are Portuguese ORIGIN. Ignorance BLINDS you...

[VColombelli]

[psagmenos87]

Γλιστρίδα έφαγε η κοπέλα? :-)

[TackleTheWorld]

She is so happy and so expressive, and wears such outrageous costumes. How can you be sad when Carmen performs?

[miguelangelcal]

amo las leyendas de la música afroamericana.

[LoveSculpture]

she was from Portugal

[joesatana]

She was born in Portugal, but his music is absolutely afroamerican, that isn't men she is a black woman. Samba, lika many others americas musics has african seeds

[Marllon]

She was only ethnically Portuguese, and raised in a Brazilian culture. She moved to Brazil at ten months of age, so she's a Brazilian first and foremost. Carmen Miranda is a Portuguese-born Brazilian; and yes, the music is Afro-Brazilian. Carmen Miranda is the epitome of Brazilian culture.
