Caetano Veloso

Caetano Veloso - Supercabana

Portuguese facts: over 200 million speakers, sixth most common language in the world, official language of seven countries and co-official language of two others.

"Supercabana" facts: almost 90 seconds of Portuguese wordplay, 3rd most frequently-played track on my iTunes in the past month, and ladened with tropicalismo bliss.

You said you were having trouble finding songs in a past post. Have you tryed pandora. It doesn't work perfectly, and can be kinda annoying, but it has some cool stuff. The majority of stuff I listen to now is eather from you or there. Thanks for the posts. As for myself, lately I've been listening to: Bunky, Crystal Skulls, Moving Units, The Unicorns, Black Keys, and of course others.
