Caipirabob - Caipira = More or less Portuguese for "Redneck"


Yep, it's me - Caipirabob! Y'all come see me some time and don't forget to bring the Cachaças! (Sim, Eu gosto de Velho Barreiro. Muitas boas lembranças, gente...)
Note: YIKES!!! Do NOT use Babelfish to translate the above...I mean - LOL!!!
Caipirabob's Caipirinha Recipe:
1 lime
2 ounces of cachaça - Pinga 51 is widely available in the states as is Ypioca, but I prefer the more "raunchy flavored" Velho Barreiro. There's just something about it that takes me back to waking up on a beach in Brasil during Carnaval. It felt like paradise...
Sugar to taste (I use Florida "Demerara Sugar")
Ice cubes (Crush it and add last!)
Wash the lime and roll it on the board to loosen the juices. Cut the lime into pieces and place them in a glass. Sprinkle with the sugar and crush the pieces (pulp side up) with a pestle. Just enough to release the juice, otherwise it'll get bitter. Add the cachaça and stir to mix. Drink it the Caipirabob way, with a gorgeous morena for full effect.

I'm updating some music information here because YouTube has been getting some great Brasilian music videos made by fans. People have been filming Pagode groups and/or making their own videos. Whoever they are, they have a cold, frosty caipirinha or choppe waiting for them if I ever get a chance to say "Obrigado!".
Now I can listen to Brasilian music all day via Smartphone. It's carnaval right now and there's some great music out there. Grupo Bem Mais - Here's a new one.
Here's an introduction to some Samba: Harmonia Do Samba - Mentirosa
Some pagode I found recently that I really love Sensacao - Paraiso
Some classic Axe do Bahia (this one's for you, Martin!): É o Tchan - Dança do Bumbum (Chegue! Estou no paraiso!!! ;D ) [link works again!]
Some great pagode: Grupo Nosso Sentimento - Sonho De Amor
This is some romantic pagode: Doce Encontro - Alucinado
Excellent pagode: Ja Virou Rotina
More great stuff from Nosso Sentimento: É tudo ou Nada
Another romantic one:Doce Encontro - Nada vai mudar
This group's pretty good: Imagina Samba - Amor bandido
For fellow Pagode lovers, here is a great Internet Radio Link for Musica Brasileiro, including selections of Axe and Pagode. Tanta saudade, meus amigos...RadioClick
They've changed formats again. 98 FM and BH FM have a good mix of Pagode, Axe and Forro.

As palavras de Vida Inteira (My favorite is the Kiloucura version)
A Vida Inteira - Kiloucura
Quero te namorar
Quero ficar perto
Do seu coração
Quero ter você
A vida inteira
Quando a gente se beijar
No banco da praça
Ou na areia do mar
Vai ser pra valer
A vida inteira
Olha bem pra mim
E diz que não vai me abandonar
E se algum dia eu chorar
Vai ser de prazer e de paixão
Oh, meu bem querer
Eu sempre sofri de solidão
Preeciso sentir o seu calor
Só quero você meu amor
