Music for Brazilian Bandits

I read online that a music critic once called Silvinha the Brazilian Janis Joplin because of the recording I have in my mix, the song "Paraiba," by Brazilian backwoods music legend Luiz Gonzaga. The song's lyrics (in Portuguese) make fun of masculine women from the Brazilian state of Paraíba. Silvinha growls, "Masculine Paraíba -- macho woman, yes sir!" Mmhhmmmm. Eduardo Araújo, her husband, gives some of the same kind of hillbilly music (baião) a psychedelic twist in the track here. Take them, with a little Hank Williams and Tom Waits, and you get the picture.

My mix is called "belly up to the barzinho." Drown those sorrows -- with some Brazilian beer, if you're into that kind of thing.
