<![CDATA[<P>108
If Brasil were a song, it would enchant, it would
captivate, it would stick with you for days and
days, months and months. It would have moments
of excitement and frenzy – think of drums beating
way into the night or the beads of sweat ? ying
from a Carnival dancers back – moments of
melody and harmony – palm fronds swaying,
? ocks of birds returning to their perches at dusk,
a canoe paddled along a river gently parting the
waters – and moments of sublime serenity – the
pendulum swing of a hammock, water droplets in
the calm after a tropical storm, a fresh fruit juice
accompanied by a perfect sunset, the note of a
saxophone held, held, held.
It would be a song about discovery and slavery,
bandits and heroes, emperors and rubber-
tappers, designers and architects, footballers and
musicians. It would be a tale of redemption and of
hope. It would get under your skin, open a door
onto your soul, delve deep into your heart.
Each of Brasils regions is a verse in this song,
each different. In Rio the beat is sophisticated
and sometimes sultry, lulled by the exuberance
of its green hills and blue seas. In Iguassu, the
rhythm picks up as water cascades, pounding
percussively, while along stretches of endless
beaches caressed by Atlantic breakers the pulse is
more genteel. The wildlife reserves of the Amazon
and the Pantanal could be ? ute or clarinet solos,
where creatures bright and beautiful are spotted
by the patient. The song has different styles too, to
re? ect the myriad in? uences that combine in this
great country, where peoples love of food, music,
colour and life itself is infectious.
Learn this song, its notes and its beat. Learn to
sing it with us, in the key of life.
Embrace the Rhythm</p>
