There was a very politically conservative radio host here in Porto Alegre who used to say when we were struck by a heat wave that it looked like a Senegalese climate. In an ideal world, he would be listening to this show and playing these songs whenever he was reminded of Senegal

Just to say that in Brazil heat is associated with poverty and lazyness and low temperatures are associated with Europe and wealth and "culture"

@MvS Standard fare, like you'd get from a sub shop in the tristate. A long menu. Served from a small catering wagon or whatever ya wanna call it. But really dynamite stuff. I think with the exchange it was about 8€.

@Andrew: Some effort was made to record sounds in Africa back in the early 1900s; probably couldn't take field recordings, so they prob brought musicians to a central studio. Doug Schulkind and Brian Turner have played some very old African recordings, have to search for the comp's name...
