Oct 21, 2007 - Interesting how an 1947 song get popular in States now. This one is the Third Greatest Brazilian Song of all time, tied with the "Chorinho" Carinhoso, this one composed in 1917...Good job!

Dec 4, 2007 - Of course, amazing sound and David Byrne ( God) is such an advocate of South American music (rei momo- amazing) and sounds so appropriate in that genre. I will admit, I am amazed the song is from 47. I assumed that it was in reference to rainforest clearing for cattle. i am going to keep thinking of it that way, 60 years old or not.

Dec 9, 2007 - I've loved this song for a long time (first heard it by Joao Gilberto) and this version is original and fun! I missed Forro in the Dark when they were in Chicago last year, but I'll catch them for sure next time. David Byrne fits in so well with them!

Jul 25, 2008 - nicely done!thank you for keeping forró alive and for divulging it for an international audience. it is amazing how forró´s thematic is so universal - this becomes obvious when it is sang in English. Asa Branca could very well have been written by Dylan of Armstrong or someone like that. It is also revitalizing for forró to be filtered by NYers. It would be interesting a luiz gonzaga songbook all in english.
