Music of the day

Smoke City - Águas de Março (Joga Bossa Mix)



Joga bossa nova samba
DJ please play bossa nova for me
Radio, radio
Colours in life
Everyday thinks like a stick or a fly
A pear, a peach
A girl on the beach
Talking let's speak brazil and portuguese
Abacaxi is pineapple
Banana is banana

Hot in the sun
Hot on the skin
Pele zico pele
Na tv on tv
Hat trick, lick trich
The kings of the day
Easy away the pain of the day today

Cantar is to sing
Doer is to hurt
Camisa dez, number ten shirt
Surfer surfista, samba dancer sambista
Me conquista, ta ta ta ta ta ta

Play

Cantar is to sing
Doer is to hurt
Camisa dez, number ten shirt
Surfer surfista, samba dancer sambista
Ta ta ta ta ta ta ...

(Sentir the heat)
Nada is to swim and nothing too,
Viajar is to travel you can come too
To smoke e' fumar
To escape escapar
Joga bossa nova samba

Joga bossa nova samba
Joga bossa nova samba
Joga bossa nova samba
Joga bossa

English band Smoke City successfully blends modern music styles like acid jazz and trip hop with more traditional music like jazz, samba, trip hop, reggae, dub, folk and bossa nova (wah so many!). This song Águas de Março (waters of March) is my favourite song from their debut album Flying Away (which I bought and sadly lost it ten years ago).

I just love the sexy and smooth vocals of lead singer Nina Miranda who sang with a French accent aside from Brazil Portuguese. No other band blend together monkeys and other animal sounds so beautifully like they do plus you can learn some basic Portuguese just by listening to this song. Enjoy!

If you love Águas de Março you should like Underwater love and Mr. Gorgeous (and Miss Curvaceous) as well.
