Every episode is a different song. This is the song today:
"Morro Dois Irmãos", written and performed by Chico Buarque.
----
Morro Dois Irmãos, or Two Brothers Hill, is one of Rio de Janeiro's most iconic landmarks, located between Leblon and São Conrado. It takes its name from its distinctive shape: two enormous rocky peaks standing side by side. But instead of simply describing the mountain, he turns it into music. The song's heart lies in the juxtaposition of two different conceptions.
Music, which normally moves through movement, becomes still, while the mountain, which we perceive as motionless, begins to move. That's the paradox at the song's central idea. The original recording also carries the unmistakable sound of late-1980s production, with lush keyboards adding a distinctly atmospheric, almost cinematic quality to the arrangement
