[@scotestranho]

The best band in de universe... I´m brazilian and I love your vesion of Leãosinho.

[@Revnoir29871]

still the best

[@kfactor09]

Uma das melhores bandas do nosso tempo, orgulho de ser brasileiro e ter esse cover perfeito feito por minha banda preferida. Beirut tem uma sonoridade artística simplesmente incomparável, alem de Zach ser um letrista excepcional. Vida longa Beirut!

[@thebeatlesguitars5406]

Assino embaixo!

[@notyourbusiness7239]

How could ANYONE give this a thumbs down? This band's music is probably the most beautiful thing i've ever heard in my 14 years of life!

[@taasinbinhossainalvi9173]

The first song, for him, is something very difficult. He was dealing with one of the most difficult languages, and he gets it very well. I'm from Brazil, and listen to that was just incredible.

[@alexanderfrankcastro5619]

I am elated that I have stumbled on to this musical movement. My musical coming-of-age was in the 80s and 90s and ranged from alternative music such as The Smiths, REM, Bauhaus, The Cult, Industrial music scene, and 80s West coast and east coast punk rock. And coming from a patriarchal society I was also steeped in Heavy Metal and Grunge. I stopped listening to music for several years. Now this new generation of music is helping me to feel hopeful once again..

[@cammigurlgonewild]

Beirut, Zach Condon, he's a gem, his voice, his style, his melodies, his mind , his soul, it's MADE for music, he's made to make this harmonies and melodies. This is pure magic.

[@TisOneBlood]

I'm brazillian. You got it right, Zach. Amazing.

[@TalonKasmai]

Lyrics in English of "O Leãozinho" I really want to see you, little lion walking under the sun I really like you little lion it makes me sad, little lion for my lonely heart it's enough to have found you on my way young leon, ray of the morning captivating my look like a magnet

[@johnstanlake1399]

Incredible. What a band. God bless Beirut.

[@BananaAnna99Others]

i love his laugh so much, he's just such a fantastic human being

[@MissNatalonga]

Dear Beirut, your music makes me so happy, thank you.

[@fedewag]

Nobody was singing? How is it possible?! One day, when I will have the honour to see them live, someone will have to keep my mouth close!! Their music is purely magic, I love it! And Zach voice is always amazing.

[@treetrain]

I LOVE THE DRUMMERS FACE AND ENJOYMENT YOU CAN TELL HE TRULY APPRECIATES AND ENJOYS PLAYING THIS ALL

[@skandarcardozo]

"um fióti de lião, aio da manhãn..." ahsduhasudhusah ..so cute *-*

[@EvangelistKia]

Usually not my type of music....but this is great!

[@treetrain]

they are absolutely beautiful. friend of mine saw them at bonnaroo festival. heard they are amazing live. i wish i could've seen that

[@TheMoonlightVagabond]

2:28 for the cover they made Not that you shouldn't watch the video ( inspiring, eye-opening, captivating), but that song is so addictive, I had to make a shortcut to it.The songs they play always evoke such passionate and instinctively awakening impulses to dance and be happy. This video is the best quality of video, quality of sound, and quality of music I have ever heard. Perfect, this version is on iTunes.

[@aiwala]

love it...yes

[@matthewsnyder674]

Great show, if only to remember that the trumpet sends Postcards into the pantheon of eternal truths expressed through sound.

[@UneCerice]

The name of this song is Leãozinho, is of the singer Caetano Veloso

[@danth0293]

Gisele Bortoncello te amo

[@Suryabir]

I think the drummer guy had the most fun playing :)

[@victorcelyvillate1050]

always he gives his all

[@marcelloesfiha]

I listen Beirut ago two years I'm brazilian and very happy with the recognition of the value of our music culture

[@jadegomagominha]

QUE LINDO CARA

[@jakeuchiki-parker917]

I love it when the cello goes into arco, it's just beautiful, and you can see it on Zach's face!

[@SAMUCRILHOS]

"um fioti de lião"

[@carolvieira8121]

Sou brasileira e apaixonada por essa banda! Fico orgulhosa de saber as inspirações dele, de ver que tem um LP de Chico Buarque, Caetano...só aumentou minha admiração por Beirut!

[@conscienciaemexpansao11]

Eu quase morri quando ouvi isso.. *-* Poucos artistas reconhecem assim a nossa língua, o nosso verdadeiro valor.. Enfim. :))

[@Borringbee]

He looks so clean. I don't remember ever seeing him this clean.

[@BergamoFirenzeSGV]

This is the best version of Sunday Smile and Postcards that I've ever heard. I love this band,

[@dodbrsp]

I'm glad they've recorded this song (Leãozinho). It's one of the gratest brazilian song composed by one of the gratest brazilian musician

[@claudefarias]

Hermosa versión de Leaozinho!

[@lilianalves3530]

Não me canso de assistir a esse vídeo

[@cindydoggenmidasthebordert4886]

had a great laugh on Zach commenting "thats the way you do it" because thats exactly what my naughty dog Midas on nmy cats :D

[@EdgelordSupreme]

This band is one of the many reasons I love the randomness of KZbin related/suggested videos. This band was not on my radar without you, and for that I am grateful.

[@PRIMDAY]

Definatley a step away from my usual heavy metal and blues......beautiful music

[@fmariotto]

The name is "Chico Buarque". a very famous brazilian musician. You can probably find a lot of his musics here on youtube.

[@MellowMedow]

Thank you so much for adding this. I admire every little added hum Zach does to pull the whole melody together :)

[@olyatroynikova]

LOVE OF MY LIFE

[@joecimartinssantiagodossan6458]

Me deparei com esse vídeo maravilhoso!!! Minha paixão só oumentou por essa banda única! Que orgulho saber que Zack se inspirou em cantores basileiros❤

[@otacilioteodoro]

It's Chico Buarque, a great brazilian singer, and the song that he is talking about is "Roda Viva". This music is a riot against the military government, that exists between 60's -80's. Listen:

[@naiarasilva3975]

eu AMO tanto vocês .espero ir ao show de vocês um DIA

[@bootsfarrow]

Always great to see paul playing

[@konstantinos_pavlidis]

They're just Excellent.

[@AURELIOPENNA]

Wow, so cool to watch a so inspired and talentous band like beirut speak about brazilian music in a so respectfull, honorable way. Very important for us brazilians to learn how to respect more our own music because the whole word do it and sometimes more then ourselves... and they like the right guys like chico buarque, jorge ben, caetano... The true "MPB"

[@euremaelathea]

Beirut como sempre impressionando com o seu desapego da música tudo flui com essa turma! Muito bom.

[@lic.victormanuelortuno8505]

es hermoso es cuchar musica y cerrar los ojos.......... al compass de una bella voz mientras se enchina la piel por los sonidos tan finos y estilizados de la banda................... i just say beautiful!

[@ayallieex3]

He is so amazing

[@gabrielcs7n3]

Amazing version of "Sunday Smile"

[@monkikii]

tthe strumminggggg of sunday smileeeeeeee

[@felebor]

Great music by Beirut....!! Thank you for uploading this!

[@RastaTribute]

Thank you for the music!

[@BricioFuerza]

One of the greatest brazilian artists!

[@rosanat.desousa4102]

Que banda maravilhosa, que voz maravilhosa. Fã de mais desse projeto tão excelente chamado Beirut 👏🏾🥰💜

[@SuperGtasanadreas]

Talento é talento, é nato. Esse cara quebra as músicas ao meio e por isso elas ficam sonoramente lindas.

[@iheartthirteen]

oh my heart melting!

[@joseiification]

i love this man.

[@Steve5110]

Thanks, Zach Condon! I love MPB and Bossa Nova! I love Caetano Veloso! I love Beirut! Uma ressalva, pena q os estrangeiros devem valorizar mais o Brasil e sua MPB q os próprios brasileiros!

[@AURELIOPENNA]

Poxa, muito legal ver um grupo tão original e talentoso como o "beirut" fazer menção à música brasileira de maneira tão respeitosa e admirável. Muito importante pra nós brasileiros aprendermos a respeitar mais o nosso próprio produto pois o mundo todo respeita a música brasileira, as vezes mais do que nós próprios. Mas uma coisa é certa, você nunca vai ouvir alguém falar bem, executar com tanto respeito um "tche tchere tche tche" da vida, e sim um Chico buarque, um caetano, jorge ben.. Congrats!

[@mexgui]

Just Perfect!!!

[@VinayKambliV]

Fuuck this version of Postcards kills me. Soo beautifully done.

[@eduardoszklarz6592]

Que grata surpresa! So great, Beirut!!!

[@iheartthirteen]

just felt in love

[@raulkftbispojeronimo]

Minha banda preferida.

[@parismokhtari7451]

I desperately want another tour, I never got to see Beirut live...

[@datlisken89]

it's so amazing...wonderful!

[@fedewag]

Zach, your voice is incredible and the music is perfect.

[@elianayout]

The artist's name is CAETANO VELOSO,from Brazil.

[@FozzlesDrumz]

I don't get why everybody is only focusing on postcards and sunday smile, you guys are obviously not paying close enough attention to this first song which was pure brilliant. Don't get me wrong, those are two of my favorite songs, but I liked the first one way better.

[@mattiacurma45]

Music is awesome

[@marcosammelo]

I believe the first song is O Leãozinho (The little lion) by Caetano Veloso.

[@renatooliveira1994]

cavaquinho... i am brasilian and i can tell for sure

[@edersouza3835]

Gosto muito de tiver leaozinho...

[@marcelowest]

Ficou muuito maneiro ele cantando com este sotaque!!

[@girlishgrrl]

I'm Brazilian, so I know pretty much well the musicians he mentioned. He talks about Jorge ben, caetano velloso and Chico buarque

[@BananaAnna99Others]

thank you!

[@numb2222]

cantando leãozinhooooo!! que LINDO

[@soupermanist]

You're exactly right bud, it's the opening melody.

[@ezenart]

I need new music from Beirut ASAP, they haven't released any since 2011!

[@maygan62697]

***** Wish granted! They have a new song out called "No No No," and they're releasing a new album in September. :)

[@ezenart]

Meeguii whaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? Great news!!!

[@analflores]

***** i know!! when i received a notification for their new song on spotify i was like wahhhhhhhhh???!!! It was released the day after my bday!! And on my bday they announced their show in L.A. which i have tickets for!!! Talk about awesome!! 😁

Queria muito esse video Legendado. :/

[@mallumylla]

a coisa mais linda do mundo!

[@zerobalasounds]

por isso nossa musica é tao legal (:

[@arthurmourao7308]

It is interesting hear he singing in portuguese, with a strong accent or not it was really well..and the music of his choice can't sound bad at all, Caetano Veloso is a great singer as Chico Buarque.... Nice =)

[@JhonnyRoots]

tks man

[@lilianalves3530]

Tão incrível *-*

[@JacintoSilvaDuro]

Really hard to portuguese people to understand :( But I imagine that the whole objective was to sing a song for brasilian people. So, I guess, its all right. I once heard Zach speaking Portuguese in Portugal. No one understood his "brasilian-ammerricann" accent or what the hell he was saying, but we were happy, nonetheless. ;)

[@ingridsantos7815]

Tem vídeo dele falando?

[@JacintoSilvaDuro]

@@ingridsantos7815 Infelizmente, não. Ele estava à minha frente, a falar com o público num concerto. Também já estava muito alcoolicamente inspirado. Não tive a oportunidade de o gravar. Outro dos músicos em palco fez a tradução para inglês, daquilo que ele disse, para que o pudéssemos entender! :D

[@ingridsantos7815]

@@JacintoSilvaDuro ,nossa. Ele já sofre de depressão maníaca. Álcool piora. Espero que com 35 anos ele se acalme com sua noiva. Deve ter sido uma bagunça (haha). Ele vai e volta com os álbuns de "brass" nos projetos de pop. Se tá feliz, beleza, mesmo eu gostando de "Galipoli" e detestando um tanto "No no no"

[@JacintoSilvaDuro]

@@ingridsantos7815 Sinto que a genialidade dos primeiros tempos perdeu-se de certa forma. Gostava muito de voltar a sentir o coração a bater mais forte, como quando ouvi os primeiros trabalhos da banda. Até os temas electrónicos.

[@ingridsantos7815]

@@JacintoSilvaDuro , mesmo o primeiro álbum tinha algo de diferencial. Ele causar a explosão que causou nos EUA dizendo "Ei, não há só baixo, bateria e guitarra". E "Pompeii" e "Elephant gun" são EPs fabulosos. Tinha ouvido, letra e arranjos precoces. Até os shows eram diferenciados. Custou muito a saúde e o casamento aquela correria toda. Aí focou em algo relaxante, " No no no" pessoal relevou, com "Rip Tide" melhorou um tanto. E "Galipoli" ficou um bom pop de sexta-feira
