Waldir Azevedo - "Brasileirinho" - Yo-Yo Ma Obrigado Brazil



Brasileirinho is a cry made in 1947 by Waldir Azevedo, Brazilian composer and musician, master of the ukulele. It is considered the most successful in history of the genre. It was recorded by Carmen Miranda and, later, by musicians from around the world. Anderson is responsible for the introduction of the ukulele as a solo instrument, since until then he just ran as an accompanist for musical groups.
