“São Roque (Bella/Boa)” from Minusbaby’s (Richard Alexander Caraballo) latest EP, Saudade for Beginners.

Quick album description:

“After a five-year hiatus, Minusbaby returns … with the hip-shaking Saudade for Beginners; five tunes written in São Paulo, Brazil and East Harlem, New York City.

Saudade for Beginners aims to express life after the experience of ‘saudade,’ a term often discussed pedantically by the academe, but best left to music and poetry as in bossa nova and samba – of which Minusbaby is a devoted connoisseur. Shake what your mãe gave you.”

If you like the song, you can download all five tracks for free, or even see Minusbaby live at Blip Festival 2008, which kicks off tonight in New York City.

Speaking of Blip Festival, it’s interesting to see that organizers for the event bought advertising space on 4chan. Weird!
