Here is the album cover of my favorite brazilian musical, and the one that i consider the most accessible introduction to brazilian musical theater: Os Saltimbancos.

Os Saltimbancos (I Musicanti, in the original Italian, The Musicians, in English) is a children’s musical theater play, inspired by the short story “The Musicians of Bremen”, by the Brothers Grimm. In the original play, in Italian, the songs have lyrics by Sergio Bardotti and music by Luis Enríquez Bacalov. The Brazilian Portuguese version won additional songs, by Chico Buarque.

One of the expressive works of musical theater dedicated to the children’s audience Os Saltimbancos narrates the adventures of four animals that, feeling exploited by their owners, decide to flee to the city and try their luck as musicians. The musical fable was translated and adapted into Brazilian Portuguese by Chico Buarque de Hollanda, at the end of 1976 of the play by Sergio Bardotti and Luis Enríquez Bacalov, who in turn had adapted the short story “The Musicians of Bremen ”, by the Brothers Grimm, as a political allegory, in which the Hen would represent the working class; the Donkey, the field workers; the Dog, the military and Cat, the artists. The baron, an enemy of animals, would be the personification of the elite, or of the “holders of the means of production”. Sometimes, the donkey’s role is interpreted as that of the workers; and that of the Hen, of the women.

The musical’s album, considered a classic and a gem of Brazilian Popular Music, was released in March 1977, even before the show’s debut. On the disc, the interpretation of the animals was made by Nara Leão (a Gata), Miúcha (a Galinha), and the MPB4 singers, Magro (o Jumento) and Ruy (o Cachorro), in addition to the children’s choir. The songs of “Os Saltimbancos”, such as “Bicharia”, “História de uma gata”, “Minha música” and “Todos juntos”, for example, penetrated the imagination of generations of children (and adults) and are still remembered today in schools and theaters, in several reassemblies.

Here is the audio of the full album:

"Caminhamos pela praia, demos salgadinhos de milho às gaivotas e mascamos jujubas azuis, caramelos azuis e todas as outras amostras grátis que minha mãe levara do trabalho.

Acho que eu deveria explicar a comida azul.

Veja bem, Gabe uma vez disse à minha mãe que isso não existia. Eles tiveram uma discussão, que pareceu uma coisinha de nada na época. Mas, desde então, minha mãe fez tudo o que era possível comer em azul. Ela assava bolos de aniversários azuis. Batia vitaminas com mirtilos azuis. Comprava tortilhas de milho azul e levava para casa balas azuis da loja"
