My interpretation of a traditional Brazilian song composed by Geraldo Pereira and performed by various Bossa Nova musicians. This is is a "rough" recording made at home. In the lyrics of the song, the speaker basically compares the "false" Baianas with the "true" and authentic Baianas (who when they dance, ignite the crowd with heat and passion). A "Baiana" is a "woman from Bahia" -- a Brazilian state located in the Northeastern part of the country on the Atlantic coast. The Portuguese Pedro Álvares Cabral landed at what is now Porto Seguro City, on the southern coast of Bahia in 1500. More than 37% of all slaves taken from Africa were sent to Brazil, mostly to be processed in Bahia before being sent to work in plantations elsewhere in the country. Bahia thus has a very rich and mixed cultural heritage: a beautiful synergy between European colonial history and a genuine African ancestry. It is also the birth place of many notable Brazilian musicians, such as Caetano Veloso, João Gilberto, Gilberto Gil, and others.
It seemed fitting to accompany the music with a collage of photos of those real, unadulterated and authentic Baianas, who, in all their regal glory, color the cobblestone streets of Pelourinho and the magical coastlines of the North East, with feminine grace.
Está muy lindo...!!
