Great song, but one note. Not produced by David Byrne. He did put it on a compilation record he assembled with some of his favorite Brazilian songs, but he did not produce this song.

Thanks for posting, though!

@phazez from what I understand, he bankrolled the animation - I could be wrong though.

The compilation record is produced by David Byrne and is entitled Beleza Tropical.

It is a rarity and you should pick it up wherever you find it. It contains some of the greatest hits from the 60's and 70's Tropicalia music and was co-produced by the artists themselves, I think. This was when some of them were still in exile from the gov't. Beleza Tropical is basically the equivalent of the Monterey Pop album in my opinion, in terms of introducing a whole new line of music to American ears.

@phazez Maybe they mean the video is by David Byrne, not the song

I remember seeing this on PBS as a child. That was a long time ago. Thanks for posting...those feel good times are long gone.

I think they meant that the video was produced by Byrne, not the song... Duhhh

This is my favourite video—the music, the colours, the feelings, the smiles, the bumps of goose, the LIFE . . .

A masterpiece.

Muito Obrigado, Jorge Ben
