I urge others discover the samba (or pagode) genre. With a bit of Portuguese at A2 you'll love it.

This is a popular tradition of in company (in backyard -- hence the band name "Fundo do quintão"), and to me this is one of the last genres of music that you can sing together, a capella. They have melody and the text is just right for a human.

Oh, I must have confused it with Aragão's text: "Prefiro meu pagode pulsando forte, bem la no fundo do quintal."

And this is by Demônios da Garoa no less! A band that has been existing for more than 80 years now.
