Dear all,
I would like to invite you to visit my last documentary: "ASA BRANCA" (WHITE
WING) at:
http://arteonline.arq.br/rio_de_janeiro/ne_in_rio/
Rio de Janeiro is situated at Brazil Southeast.
Luiz Gonzaga Center for Northeastern Traditions or São Cristóvão Market is
inside of the São Cristóvão Pavilion in Rio de Janeiro City. It has many
stands, where one can find almost all about Brazilian Northeastern culture:
music, dance, folklore, typical food, products, arts and craft ...
Brazil Northeast is a very poor region of my country because of the drought
and because of some politicians that "cultivate" the drought... In spite of
this, Brazil Northeast has a very peculiar and rich culture. Northeastern
people suffer a lot but they have a strong hapiness inside themselves and I
love them. You will discover a little bit of that visiting my latest work
"White Wing", which is the name of a famous and very beautiful song about
the drought. This song is by Luiz Gonzaga and Humberto Teixeira.
You will listen to this music and some others visiting the work.
Bellow you have the lyrics of "White Wing":
WHITE WING
Luiz Gonzaga and Humberto Teixeira
English translation by Robin Starr of Melbourne, Australia
When I saw the land burning
Like a bonfire on St. John's Day
I asked God in the heavens above
Oh, why such a cruel torment?
What hell-fire, what a furnace!
Not even a single planted tree
I lost my cattle for lack of water
My horse died of thirst
Even the white-wing dove
Flew away from this backland
So I said, farewell Rosy
Keep my heart with you
Today a long way away
In a sad solitude
I wait for rain to fall again
So I can go back to my land
When the green of your eyes
Spreads over this land again
I assure you, don't cry, hear?
That I will return, my dear
I am sure that you will appreciate to make this audio visual visit and to
know the virtual Luiz Gonzaga Center for Northeastern Traditions. If you
have any doubt, any question, any comment or any suggestion, please, send
me.
All photographies and movies are by myself, but if you want to use some of
them, just give me the credits. The songs have the credits on them.
You will need flash player 8.0, and screen resolution 1024 X 768.
