— BROOKLYN BOSSA NOVA PROJECT presents —

Agustina Roldan joins Benny Oyama to remember a playful Samba tune written by one of the great innovators of Samba from Rio de Janeiro.

In "Falsa Baiana", Pereira plays with a comparison of images of the real woman from Bahia, who knows how to drive people crazy with her moves and expressions while dancing the Samba, as opposed to the "False Baiana" - for whom no one even opens up the circle!

Benny is a native of New York and Agustina hails from Argentina, so yes, we are definitely proud false Bahians!

lyrics

Baiana que entra no samba, só fica parada
Não canta, não samba
Não bole nem nada
Não sabe deixar a mocidade louca
Baiana é aquela que entra no samba
De qualquer maneira
Que mexe, remexe
Dá nó nas cadeiras
E deixa a moçada com água na boca

A falsa baiana quando entra no samba
Ninguém se incomoda
Ninguém bate palma
Ninguém abre a roda
Ninguém grita: Oba!
Salve a Bahia, Senhor
Mas a gente gosta quando uma baiana
Requebra direitinho, de cima embaixo
Revira os olhinhos
E diz: Eu sou filha de São Salvador
