Mangueira, by Seu Jorge, on the album entitled Samba Esporte Fino.

[Track removed: contact the author via comments to request this track]

It’s Saturday night, people. If the samba is your truth, then the funk must be those little white lies you tell your girlfriend to make sure you get your lil’ sumpn sumpn.

But don’t reach for James Brown for the funk. Don’t even look at the dusty spines of your Rick James LPs. Head down south, way south, to Rio de Janeiro, where Seu Jorge has been telling little white lies that will make you just get right down on the dancefloor like you know you should.

Not much more to say. Check the man out, buy his records. Get down.
