Vejam essa maravilha de cenário
É 'um episódio relicário
Que o artista, num sonho genial
Escolheu para este carnaval
E o asfalto como passarela
Será a tela
Do Brasil em forma de aquarela
Look at this wonderful scenario
It's a reliquary episode
That the artist, in a brilliant dream,
Chose for this carnival
And the asphalt as a catwalk
Will be the canvas
Of Brazil in the form of a watercolor
Aquarela Brasileira by Silas de Oliveira

Whenever the word happiness comes to my mind I think of samba! I grew up in Rio de Janeiro, which is a postcard city due to its natural beauty and its Carnival. When I was fifteen years old, a musician taught me to play the main beat of samba on the pandeiro, an instrument similar to the tambourine, during a moonlit party on the beach. Since then, I have not stopped playing that instrument! I left Brazil in 2015 and the feeling of homesickness increases day by day. Since I left, the need to play the pandeiro, especially Brazilian music, has grown greater and greater. Nowadays, it is easier to count the days I don't play the pandeiro. For me, playing samba is directly related to happiness. There is a famous song which says:
O samba é pai do prazer
O samba é filho da dor
Um grande poder transformador
Samba is the father of pleasure
