I really liked this style of salsa and I challenged myself to do the song in Brazilian Portuguese. This required some back and forth between BIAB and Suno. I also retrieved the brass parts from Suno and placed them in BIAB to extract the MIDI, as the track separation in Suno wasn't very good.

Lyrics in English
Chorus:
Brazil, my Brazil of joy,
sing loudly, dance night and day,
from samba to forró, it's pure emotion,
Brazil in my heart!

Verse 1:
From the golden beaches of Copacabana,
to the green embrace of the sovereign Amazon,
Christ the Redeemer, arms open in the sky,
Rio is a party, it's rhythm, it's sweet honey.

Verse 2:
Carnival explodes in colors and magic,
drums, samba-enredo, pure poetry,
bossa nova cradles moonlit nights,
and the sertão vibrates with forró to dance.

Chorus:
Brazil, my Brazil of joy,
sing loudly, dance night and day,
from samba to forró, it's pure emotion,
Brazil in my heart!

Verse 3:
Steaming feijoada, unparalleled flavor,
icy caipirinha, tropical pleasure,
from the Falls to the endless Pantanal,
Chapada Diamantina, mystery and garden.

Verse 4:
Your people are strength, are boundless passion,
football is art, it's part of life,
land of hope, of endless brilliance,
pride that lives in the heart: "I'm from here!"

Chorus (final):
Brazil, my Brazil of joy,
sing loudly, dance night and day,
from samba to forró, it's pure emotion,
Brazil in the heart!

Beautiful salsa with a great Cuban vibe.
Definitely too fast for dancing (trust me, I tried), but it's a good song with a nice mix of BIAB and Suno tracks.
Enjoyed my listen!

Yeah! I love this, Laurent, great groove, nice mix of parts.

My favorite part if the guitar, you have the Santana style and sound down perfectly, sounds great!

Laurent, loved the groove on this song.
Great example of blending AI with BiaB.
Super mix.
Great horn tracks and guitar track.
Sounds great.

Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

Wow! This is excellent listening and equally excellent viewing. I love what you've created and how you've put audio and visuals together. As others have said, this is incredibly infectious.

I loved the musical journey!

Wow, Laurent, what a production! Everything about this was top shelf! I couldn't follow what you said about Suno and MIDI, but the results speak for themselves. This looks like something Brazil Touristry would produce. Super job!

Laurent, this is exceptionally well done!
The horns are so good, they really drew me into the song!
The mix is beautiful, tight and so pro sounding to me!
Not a bad thing to say about this, it's all good!
Thanks, TB

Great dance song! Brilliant arrangement of all of the stems and an ace production.

Thanks B.D. Thomas for the comments. For the dancing, you'll need to train with a Brazilian dancer. But I don't know if your wife will agree.

Thanks Dave for the comments. I listened to Santana a lot in my youth and try to recreate the atmosphere.

A long time ago, I had a relationship with a professional salsa teacher.
I learned a lot from her smile

You did a fantastic job, Laurent!
It was quite a lot of work and therefore very time-consuming!
Not just the music and singing, but also that really great video you made for it!

That you were able to use pieces from Suno in BiaB is particularly interesting. And it's also great that BiaB was able to do this.
Is this the new national anthem of Brazil? It has to be!

Well done!
