Samba da Utopia, by Jonathan Silva and Ceumar

[asakiyume]

I found this song, Samba da Utopia, while wandering through YouTube. The composer's video is here, but there are many, many other videos by cover singers--like this one, which I almost like better. The words and tune are simple and the message is a good one (aside from the minor detail that I don't believe in utopias)--I really like it!




PS, I don't actually know what makes a samba a samba--I should find out.

Thank you for sharing!

I am under the impression that the formal definition of samba has to do with the rhythm. Wikipedia is unhelpful.

I recall the samba was a popular dance among the more sophisticated parental back in the day. Bossanova, too.
