I discovered Brazil in July 2019 and moved here about a year later from the US. It has its defects (like any place) but I fucking love living here. The beach, sun, food (churrasco 😍), people, Portuguese, culture, etc. I feel this song in my soul 😂 Love from Florianópolis 🇧🇷♥

[@AahFukIt]

Danish here, I have lived in the US and the arctic. Please tell me about the cultural diffences you meet! Please, Sir.

[@Voidrunner01]

The voice. The sax. The guitar. I'm SO hooked by this super chill vibe. I need to listen to this while sitting in the sun, sipping a capirinha and having a cigar.

I live in the countryside and coming from town on the highway, was 🤩 maybe I had a tiny hit as well 🤭

[@Fabio-eb2je]

One of those moments where a live song is better than a studio one. Wonderful :)

[@NicholasPellegrino]

Yes! This is my favourite recording of it!

[@erichoffman9140]

This is deadass the most sublime, soulful, good-vibes performance I've ever seen. It's like the music6 equivalent of sharing a perfect joint with your best friends on a summer night.

The Praia in the sun The Forró in the night Garota Brasileira dancing into the daylight De swing e rebolado Don't know how but I try to Seu jeitinho Your carinho’s something that I’d fly to Quer saber de onde sou? Brasileira, meu amor! Brasil. Quer saber de onde sou? Brasileira, meu amor! Brasil. My tambourine in the rhythm of samba In the heat of December Oh Brazil is where I’ll go I think I’ve got a case of Brazilian Soul I’ll always remember Oh in the heat of December when we let our hearts grow close The swing and the samba todo mundo bamba The alma brasileira drinking coffee with the capoeira From New York to Pará Atlanta to Paraná São Paulo Tocantin Miami and the in between Quer saber de onde sou? Brasileira, meu amor Brasil! Quer saber de onde sou? Brasileira, meu amor Brasil! My tambourine in the rhythm of samba In the heat of December Oh Brazil is where I’ll go I think I’ve got a case of Brazilian Soul I’ll always remember Oh in the heat of December when we let our hearts grow close My tambourine in the rhythm of samba In the heat of December Oh Brazil is where I’ll go I think I’ve got a case of Brazilian Soul I’ll always remember Oh in the heat of December when we let our hearts grow close

The Sax and Guitar player are from the group The True Loves, they had their own KEXP appearance which was awesome! Such a good move to team up with them!

[@alexisraad2950]

After hearing this song in my head i was like “pleasetake me to brasil as soon as possible”

[@diego.medeiros]

As novas gerações de fora curtindo e descobrindo bossa nova, o samba e a rica história da música brasileira. No Brasil, a massa ignorando tudo isso e achando que só temos o sertanejo pasteurizado e rasteiro das paradas. Força aos brasileiros (e estrangeiros) que levam nossa verdadeira música nas costas

[@cristianecarvalho2100]

É maravilhosa essa música, sou encantada! ❤

Calma lá, cara! Tudo é cultura! Samba, bossa nova, funk, sertanejo, pisadinha. Falar força aos estrangeiros que estão **carregando nossa verdadeira música nas costas** é escarrar na nossa própria cultura e até sentir vergonha dela. Tudo tem seu valor, você pode até não gostar (como eu não gosto de funk e sertanejo), mas não dá para negar que nossa cultura inclui esses sons e que a galera de fora paga pau para o que fazemos aqui, porque é ÚNICO. Dito isso, a Sofi e o Tukker tem uma música com Pablo Vittar. Ela que é de fora demonstra mais carinho por nossa cultura do que nós mesmos.

[@VincentDepretre]

Magnifique, magique, merveilleux, merci beaucoup

[@RobertoSu]

Oh gosh, thanks to everyone who participated in making this song and this live version of it, it's quite soul warming.

[@VincentDepretre]

Totalement génial

[@brantfrey2926]

That's about as good as good as music can get - that beauty reminds me of Astrid Gilberto with her hypnotic voice and the guitarist is exceptional to the point of perfect sound... and the sax would make Stan Gets proud. Well done indeed.

[@cristianecarvalho2100]

Perfeição total!!! ❤

[@KWwest]

You must be over 60;) Agree w/everything you said! Grew up listening to Joao & Astrid Giberto, Stan Getz-such beautiful music & this is too.

[@Kensington007]

That Sax player! The solo and that salutation to his own solo that he fingered thru at the end, so softly that the reed almost failed to tremor...wow, just beautiful... almost as beautiful as Sofi Tucker and her happy smile. I come back here when need to and this is often...Gratis!

[@jobinbahmanipour5293]

[@derrickschultz6871]

That sax player is on point, and the dude on guitar is amazing. Their faces set the scene. But the dancer..... eh hem...he's like a drunk uncle dancing to songs he's never heard at a wedding reception for his niece.

Is tukker from Seattle?

[@thainsworth67]

@@simi72100 No. "Tucker Halpern was born in Brookline, Massachusetts. Growing up, he was a basketball player who was recruited by major Division I basketball schools, ending up at Brown University where he played three years and was the captain for a year. Due to an illness, he changed his career, started DJing, occasionally with musician Nicolas Jaar,[10] and concentrated on making music."
