about

— BROOKLYN BOSSA NOVA PROJECT presents —
Samba da Minha Terra by Dorival Caymmi
(como a interpretação do mestre João Gilberto)

Featuring Benny Oyama with Miho Nobuzane
Filmed and Recorded at Daruma House Studios in sunny Brooklyn, New York!

The great Miho Nobuzane joins Benny Oyama to remember a playful Samba tune called "Samba from my land".

— WHAT IS BROOKLYN BOSSA NOVA PROJECT? —
BROOKLYN BOSSA NOVA PROJECT is an exploration in the early roots of Bossa Nova music from Brazil, a style that took the world by storm in the 1950's and 1960's. We feature great artists from New York and around the world in our recreation of the rhythm and melodies that define the beautiful creations from this time and place.

We want to extend a big, big thank you to Leo Hsu (@bodycook) for filming and editing. Another huge thank you to Brandon Unpingco for incredible professionalism and sound recording.

lyrics

O samba da minha terra
Deixa a gente mole
Quando se canta
Todo mundo bole
Quando se canta
Todo mundo bole

O samba da minha terra
Deixa a gente mole
Quando se canta
Todo mundo bole
Quando se canta
Todo mundo bole

Quem não gosta de samba
Bom sujeito não é
É ruim da cabeça
Ou doente do pé

Eu nasci com o samba
No samba me criei
E do danado do samba
Nunca me separei

O samba da minha terra
Deixa a gente mole
Quando se canta
Todo mundo bole
Quando se canta
Todo mundo bole

Quem não gosta de samba
Bom sujeito não é
É ruim da cabeça
Ou doente do pé

Eu nasci com o samba
No samba me criei
E do danado do samba
Nunca me separei

O samba da minha terra
Deixa a gente mole
Quando se canta
Todo mundo bole
Quando se canta
Todo mundo bole
