Merel - Blackbird - Pássaro Preto (1)



Voor het Braziliaanse 'Blackbird project'- For the Brazilian 'Blackbird - Pássaro preto - project'.
Uit zijn snavel komt het mooie Braziliaanse lied 'O cio da terra'. The song he sings is the beautiful Brazilian song 'O cio da terra'.

Bij het horen van het woord 'Blackbird' denken we natuurlijk meteen aan de Merel.
Maar.. De Braziliaanse 'zwarte vogel' is geen merel (melro-preto in 't Portugees), maar een andere, letterlijk de pássaro preto. Vandaar déze zwarte vogel erbij getekend.

Hearing the name 'Blackbird' I instantly think of our common blackbird.
However.. The Brazilian 'black bird' (literally 'pássaro preto') is not the same bird as the common blackbird (turdus merula). The also nice singing Brazilian Blackbird is quite distinct, for this reason I added o pássaro preto to this mail.

    Although not the same bird, here in Brazil, most people confused and believe to be the same bird.

    P.S. Milton Nascimento has such a beautiful voice. And I can imagine he is considered like that, as he is an important person in history and present of MPB, I think, singing and composing for so many decades!..
    He has been in Amsterdam in 2008 and I enjoyed his show a lot (as I enjoy most of his cd's) and so did many Brazilian visitors.
