Joe Zawinul plays the Brazilian composer Villa Lobos, interpreted by the Portuguese jazz singer Maria João, who is here singing in a Brazilian Portuguese accent. Lyrics by Teca Calazans (brazilian composer and singer).

Caicó

Ó, mana, deixa eu ir (oh sis, let me go)

Ó, mana, eu vou só (oh sis, I'm going alone)

Ó, mana, deixa eu ir (oh sis, let me go)

Para o sertão do Caicó (to the sertão* of Caicó)



Eu vou cantando (I go singing)

Com uma aliança no dedo (with a wedding ring on my finger)

Eu aqui só tenho medo (here I only fear)

Do mestre Zé Mariano (master Zé Mariano)



Mariazinha botou flores na janela (Little Maria put flowers in the window) 

Pensando em vestido branco (thinking of a white dress)

Véu e flores na capela (veil and flowers in the chapel)

*The sertão is a semi-arid, interior region of the Brazilian northeast. In the past it was also used to refer any part of the rural interior.

  • Maria Joao incredible voice accompanied by sadly missed Joe Zawinul, plus Villa Lobos- It does it for me! It is as rare as hen’s teeth to find a vocalist with so much musical passion and supported by such amazing vocal technical excellence. Trust Joe Z. to have known her! I just wonder where I have been all these years to have missed this!
