    Brazilian music on Fridays: ‘Diariamente’

    This week, a friend reminded me on FB of this song from Marisa Monte's second album, Mais (1991), which I listened to a lot back in the day. (It has some other great songs, like 'Ainda lembro' and 'Ensaboa'.) The song itself is beautiful (and beautifully sung), but what makes it really cool is the accompanying video-clip and how it matches the lyrics. Here is the text in Portuguese, and you can try your luck with google translate; my favorite line: "Para dias de folga: namorado" (For your days off: a boyfriend). I was watching it with my kids this morning, and they loved it; indeed, the song has a lullaby ring to it, and the animation in the clip is simple and yet clever. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did!

      Wonderful! Someone gave me a copy of Mais years ago – now I’m going to have to dig it out and give it a new listen. I also really like and would recommend Pernambucobucolismo off Infinito Particular.
      cheers,

      Glad you liked it! Could you follow some of the lyrics with the video-clip?
      As I mentioned, from Mais I really like ‘Ainda lembro’ too, it’s pop-ish and not particularly original, but really nice (with a very young Ed Motta). I haven’t followed Marisa Monte’s work much since the Tribalistas album (which I don’t like, but my husband was a big fan, so I had to put up with quite a bit of it…), so thanks for the suggestion from Infinito Particular.
