Chosing music for November 10th and the DJs are surprised we have Belgian groups with Brazilian lyrics. The first Carioca words (mind the ‘terra’ rrrr-pronounciation in the song) I could utter were:

Olha o meninio que dança
O seu corpo a balancar
E as vezes também canta
Lalale lalalela

Realising now Arsenal had quite an early-stage influence on my never-ending passion for Brazil and Brazilian music.

Probably they’ll say the say about me on the 10th: “Olha o menino que dança, e as vezes também canta”…
