My name is Americo. I’m from Sao Paolo in Brazil. My mum used to sing this little song, ‘Boi da Cara Preta’ when I was a kid.

It’s very strange actually because it talks about a black bull which would come and take the children away. Funny that, given that it’s for little kids. It’s like a threat. The mum is singing to the little guy, ‘If you don’t behave, the bull will come and take you away.’ Yet it’s a nice song even though the words don’t match the sweet melody.
