You're welcome! I have often thought that "Aquarela do Brasil" would make a much better national anthem than the current one. It seems to express much better what Brazil is all about than "Ouviram do Ipiranga às margens plácidas..."

I must have seen this as a child. These cartoons really had much truth in them. The spirit of samba is cachaca...hmmm, that would explain Carnaval.
Aquarela do Brasil, is indeed truer to the spirit of the country...

I suspect that cachaça may have contributed to the reason we got sent the wrong parts to our vehicle...twice.
