Helping The World Love Brazil

Bossa Nova is the music that they play in Heaven.
Not just Christian Heaven either.
All of them.
I believe that Heaven is a cocktail party that smells like
coconut
and
lime
and
cachaca
and the OCEAN
The heat dips just below 90
but the moist sand feels chilly to the soles of feet
everyone knows everyone
and at least one interesting thing about everyone
Ice cubes are endless
and not one drop spills from a glass

Listen to Caetano Veloso's and Gilberto Gil's version of "Aquarela Do Brasil" and you'll agree.
Check out Seu Jorge for a different sound of brazilian music, and see City of God for the Brazil you don't get to see.
Now go on out there and get you some Brazil!
PEACE.
