This song really left its mark on me.

This song of Maria Bethânia " I that know almost nothing of the sea ', reminds me too I miss my sister Simone, because in the last two months of life she listened all day.
The lyrics is very beautiful and very deep.

My favorite song is Feira de Mangaio

My name is Nilza Simões and I start making a call: Would you like to make a trip back in time and space?
Then go to the forest region north of Pernambuco and Paraiba in the mid-twentieth century.
I chose to show you the song “Feira de Mangaio”. Sivuca is its composer with his wife Glorinha Gadelha. Sivuca was born in 1930. He began playing at age 9, when he won an accordion from his father. Sivuca was one of the best accordionists in Brazil. He recorded over 40 albums.
He sang in "Feira de Mangaio" the world and the sounds of my childhood, adolescence and early adulthood in the years between 1946 to about 1973, when I moved to Recife with my husband and my first daughter.
The lyrics of the song "Fair Mangaio" tells of a small grocery store. My father was a grocer and sold some of the products cited by Sivuca. I heard this song the first time in 1977. I cried with nostalgia for childhood.

I also want to highlight Clara Nunes, one of the greatest interpreters of this song. She was a pioneer when recording music of Candomblé, the religion of African origin. She sang “Feira de Mangaio“ in Japan, and many other places in the word. She died prematurely at age 40 after an unsuccessful surgery.

My favorite song!



Smile :)

This song is important to me because it was the music played in my high school graduation waltz and also represents happiness. We always have to smile because smiling makes life more beautiful and joyful.

Under the bridge: The song of my life

It was very difficult to choose a song that marked my life, because every time in my life has a soundtrack. So, I choose a song that reminds me my teenage years. The name of the song is "Under the Bridge". This song was written in 1991, in this time I was still a Child. Only in 2001 I knew this song, when I began to hear international musics of the international rock bands, influenced by some friends, because international rock, was the fever that day. Around this time, I met the songs of the my favorite rock band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and this song "Under the bridge" is my favorite of them. This song reminds me my English classes in High School, I made the effort to learn how to sing my favorite songs in English. Reminds me my friends who also listened and liked this song and others songs in English with me. Finally, this song reminds me a great phase of my life, a wonderful phase of my life!
