Multicultural Mondays

Brasilian Flavor: Noriel Vilela
I love it when an amazing artist covers a song that is out of their genre and makes it their own through creative reinterpretation.  This song is a classic country/folk song credited to Merle Travis, but covered by the likes of "Tennessee" Ford and Johnny Cash.  He was part of Portuguese vocal samba group and unfortunately died an early death.  He has an unbelievable baritone voice that puts a Brasilian groove into this unlikely song.


 GIVE THE DRUMMER SUM!
More Brasilian flavor.  This time it's in the form of some absolutely insane drums!  This makes me feel like dancing nekked in the middle of a jungle.  Aiyaiee!
