Na Baixa Do Sapateiro
"Na Baixa do Sapateiro" ( en, In the Shoemaker's Hollow) is a famous Brazilian song, written by Ary Barroso. Its title comes from a street in Salvador, Bahia, where many cobblers once worked. It was originally released in 1938 as the B side to ''Salada Mista'', which did not achieve the same level of success. This first recording was sung by Carmen Miranda with Orchestra Odeon. She never released the song on disc in the United States. The song was originally going to be featured in the Carmen Miranda film ''Banana da Terra'' (1939), but was replaced with "O Que É Que A Baiana Tem?", because of the high license fee demanded by Ary Barroso to use his song. However the song has been recorded many other times by a large number of artists. The song gained international fame when it was featured in the Disney film ''The Three Caballeros'' (1944). Notable covers The second recording of the song was in 1939, by Ary Barroso himself on the piano and Laurindo Almeida and Garoto (musician), Ga ...

The flat, tough-textured leaves are usually hairless, with blades wide. They are flat, folded, and inrolled, tapering to a fine point. The leaf bases at the terminus of each rhizome usually have a purplish hue. The stems reach tall.

They are broad, rounded, smooth and shiny. Inside each spikelet is a tiny flower. The tiny, b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bahia Emerald
The Bahia Emerald is one of the largest emeralds and contains the largest single shard ever found. The stone, weighing approximately (approximately 1,700,000 carats) originated from Bahia, Brazil, by Ken Conetto and its emerald crystals embedded in host rock.
