I was so upset by yesterday's news of Rio's disasterous Samba City fire that I neglected to post a weekly music video.
My first taste of Brasil and lifelong love for that nation began with Rio's Carnaval in 1985.
The news from Rio is bad.
Perhaps more than $15 million usd in damages.Over 8,000 costumes destroyed.
But most importantly, the labor intensive efforts of three famous samba schools suffered serious setbacks.
It could have been worse. No lives were lost. No arson suspected.
And there is time. If only 28 days before the two big nights in the Sambadromo. That is the biggest challenge.
All of Rio will rally to help. Rio's mayor has guaranteed up to $900,000.
It will turn out...OK.
So, here's for Rio...a calming reminder...music about time... from Bebel.
