Adoniran Barbosa
Adoniran Barbosa, artistic name of João Rubinato (6 August 1910 – 23 November 1982), was a noted Brazilian São Paulo style samba singer and composer. Biography Early years João Rubinato was the seventh child of Francesco (Fernando) Rubinato and Emma Ricchini, Italian immigrants from Cavarzere (province of Venice). His parents had settled in Valinhos, a rural town in the state of São Paulo, about 70 km from the city of São Paulo. In 2010, two bridges were named after Rubinato: one located in Valinhos, Brazil, where the singer was born, and another in Cavarzere, Italy, where his parents came from. He is said to have been a rather reluctant student, and started working at an early age (which required falsifying his birth date). His first job was a sweeper boy and general helper at a railway company in the nearby town of Jundiaí. In 1924 he moved to Santo André, a town in the Greater São Paulo area, where he went through many jobs — loom operator, painter, plumb ...

Trem Das Onze
"Trem das Onze" (English: "The 11 o’clock Train") is a samba composition by Brazilian singer-songwriter Adoniran Barbosa. Released in 1964 and made famous that same year by the samba group Demônios da Garoa, it is one of the best known Brazilian popular songs and considered some of the most representative cultural symbols of the city of São Paulo. In the song, Barbosa portrays in his signature-style witty and somewhat tragicomic lyrics the drama of a lover who lives in the distant Jaçanã suburb of São Paulo, and who cannot stay longer with his beloved woman because the last train will be departing soon, at 11 p.m., and his mother won't sleep until he gets home. The song is an example of both the classic paulista samba, the variant of samba developed in São Paulo, and the use of a composition structure known as " samba-de-breque" (literally ''brake samba''), where the instrumental accompaniment stops suddenly, giving room to a brief commentary in spoken word about the l ...

Samba Songs
Samba (), also known as samba urbano carioca (''urban Carioca samba'') or simply samba carioca (''Carioca samba''), is a Brazilian music genre that originated in the Afro-Brazilian communities of Rio de Janeiro in the early 20th century. Having its roots in Brazilian folk traditions, especially those linked to the primitive rural samba of the colonial and imperial periods, it is considered one of the most important cultural phenomena in Brazil and one of the country's symbols. Present in the Portuguese language at least since the 19th century, the word "samba" was originally used to designate a "popular dance". Over time, its meaning has been extended to a "batuque-like circle dance", a dance style, and also to a "music genre". This process of establishing itself as a musical genre began in the 1910s and it had its inaugural landmark in the song " Pelo Telefone", launched in 1917. Despite being identified by its creators, the public, and the Brazilian music industry as "samba", ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tiro Ao Álvaro
"Tiro ao Álvaro" is a samba song composed in 1960 by Brazilian composer and singer Adoniran Barbosa (real name João Rubinato) with the radio-journalist Osvaldo Moles. In his style of the "paulista" samba, it has humorous lyrics written in a popular Portuguese language. History The title of the song refers to the sport of bullseye shooting, which in Brazil is called "''tiro ao alvo''". During the military dictatorship, an opponent of the regime was called “''alvo''” (target). Barbosa, hoping not to be censored, changed the term to the common first name Álvaro, which has a perfect assonance with “''alvo''”. The song was also censored under the pretext of a "''...text in bad taste...''", because it altered certain words with the use of the Paulista accent: "''flechada''" (arrow) with "''frechada''", "''tábua''" (plate ) with “''táubua''”, “''automóvel''” (automobile) with “''automorver''” and “'' revólver''” with “''revorver''”.

Samba Do Arnesto
"Samba do Arnesto" (English: ''Arnesto's samba'') is a classical samba song composed in 1953 by Italian Brazilian composer and singer Adoniran Barbosa. In his style of the "paulista" samba, it has humorous lyrics written in poor Portuguese language of the São Paulo city's poor suburbs with Italian immigrants. As is typical of many of his compositions, the last four lines are spoken instead of sung. Lyrics Original O ''Arnesto'' nos ''convidô'' ''prum'' samba, ele mora no Brás ''Nóis'' ''fumos'' e não ''encontremos'' ninguém ''Nóis'' ''vortemos'' ''cuma'' baita duma ''réiva'' Da outra ''veiz'' ''nóis num vai'' mais ''Nóis'' não ''semos'' tatu!

Samba Italiano
"Samba Italiano" (Italian Samba) is a popular samba song composed in 1965 by Adoniran Barbosa (1912–1982), who was a son of Italian immigrants of the city of Valinhos, Brazil, and knew well the pidgin Italian-Portuguese dialect spoken in the streets of São Paulo, mostly in the sections of Mooca, Brás and Bexiga. The lyrics are very funny and non-sensical, at least for those Italian-Brazilians who can understand the language (a great number of paulistas). Lyrics Original Gioconda, piccina mia, Va' a brincare nel mare, nel fondo, Ma attenzione col tubarone, lo hai visto? Hai capito, mio San Benedito? Piove, piove, Da tempo che piove qua, Gigi, E io, sempre io, Sotto la tua finestra E voi, senza me sentire Ridere, ridere, ridere Di questo infelice qui Ti ricordi, Gioconda, Di quella sera in Guarujá Quando il mare ti portava via E mi chiamasti Aiuto, Marcello!

Brazilian People
Brazilians ( pt, Brasileiros, ) are the citizens of Brazil. A Brazilian can also be a person born abroad to a Brazilian parent or legal guardian as well as a person who acquired Brazilian citizenship. Brazil is a multiethnic society, which means that it is home to people of many ethnic origins, and there is no correlation between one's stock and their Brazilian identity. Being Brazilian is a civic phenomenon, rather than an ethnic one. As a result, the degree to which Brazilian citizens identify with their ancestral roots varies significantly depending on the individual, the region of the country, and the specific ethnic origins in question. Most often, however, the idea of ethnicity as it is understood in the anglophone world is not popular in the country. In the period after the colonization of the Brazilian territory by Portugal, during much of the 16th century, the word "Brazilian" was given to the Portuguese merchants of Brazilwood, designating exclusively the name of ...
