Now that my Portguese is somewhat decent, I am FINALLY learning some songs in Portuguese! I love the music here! In Minas, the sort of mid-west of Brazil, sertenejo, country is very popular. But its nothing like the country in the United States. Well, not nothing, but its much, much better! I have copied some links to some of the songs I know that I found on YouTube. All of them are sertenejo, except Do Lado de Ca. And don't be fooled, I can only sing the choruses entirely, and a few lines in some songs sprinkled througout the versuses. I also so Parabens para Voce, the Brazilian version of Happy Birthday. Which has lots of versuses and is way more fun to sing than it is in English. Brazilian young people are really in touch with American pop culture and I know people who speak like ten English words but could sing an entire Lady Gaga song! And lots of times, on the radio, for every three Brazilian songs played, one in English is played, too. So I still hear of a lot of the music I did in the United States. And I brought my iPod because I couldn't bear to be away from John (John Mayer, that is, for those of you who don't know me very well, I'm madly in love with not only the music he creates, but also the creator. Ai, que lindo!) for almost a whole year! So, don't just read this and say "Mmmm, how cool, she likes the music". Since I took the time to find the page, copy, and paste, you can take the time to listen. Besides, its good music, so its more like a treat and less like a chore. Enjoy! Tchauzinho!
