Video: Cabruera - Cancao Pra Nina

Artist: Cabruera
Song: Cancao Pra Ninar
Country: Brazil

The next generation of Sambas! Inspired by the Mangue Beat movement led by the late great Chico Science, Cabruera from the Northeast of Brazil spice up the Forró party roots. Music video with images from the film "Peladão - Soccer Teams and Beauty Queens" directed by Jörn Schoppe.

Every year in Amazonia a football tournament takes place that beats any other tournament in terms of size and eccentricity. For 5 months more than 1000 teams from all parts of society are competing against each other.

But it's not all about the beauty of football. Female beauty plays a vital role, too. By the rules of the Peladão every participating team has to present a beauty queen. For the success of a team having a beautiful queen is even more important than having skilled players: if a team loses its games and gets eliminated its beauty queen can bring it back into the tournament if she succeeds in the tournament's own beauty contest.
