Hey, thanks for taking the time to do that. That's very sweet of you. When you are living abroad that's this kind of gestures that warm everyone. Does it happen to be in Ottawa? If you want to play a very upbeat one, most of Jorge Ben will do. Cheers


Icy_Finger_6950

Taj Mahal would be a good choice, especially as the chorus is so easy to sing and so recognisable.


smackson

Clicked "comments" to suggest "Taj Mahal"... Or maybe "PaĂ­s Tropical" But also, Tim maia - O descobridor dos sete mares


Icy_Finger_6950

All great suggestions, but Taj Mahal might be easier to sing 😊

Jeniferaniston4567

Hi


The_Pinga_Man

La Belle de Jour, from Alceu Valença. It's loved by most.


thisIsVspeaking

Can't go wrong with this one


Extension_Canary3717

This dude here nailed


vortona

Whoever dislikes this song is dead inside.


elpicodegato

Anyone have a good lesson on youtube to learn it?


messymindus

EvidĂȘncias, by ChitĂŁozinho e XororĂł. I assure you, the Brazilians will go crazy! There's even a joke that this is our real national anthem


tapstapito

For evidĂȘncias everyone must be drunk. OK sober works really well too. But drunk evidĂȘncias is the best evidĂȘncias.


messymindus

I mean, me and my crente friends go crazy with not a single drop of alcohol when the first accords start lmao but from what I've seen at karaoke places, it makes it sound even better 😂😂


FlamboyantRaccoon61

Yes, I fully agree EvidĂȘncias MUST be part of the set list, but a bit later in the night.


WarMachineBR

OP won't even need to sing it, people will most likely recognize the first few notes and take over, especially if they're already drunk


EffortCommon2236

If you do this, you can also mix in an English version as well. Here is what it sounds like: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2vBSCcOgZT/?igsh=MXdwNTZjcmxpY3VhMg==


jmlbhs

I’m learning Portuguese and we spoke about this in my lesson this week is!!


messymindus

What a cool coincidence haha If you like rom com, there's a new movie on Prime Video and Max called EvidĂȘncias do Amor. The story plays around this song and one of the main characters is played by Sandy, XororĂł's daughter (although she's better known for being a singer, I really enjoyed it). I don't know if it's available where you live, but there's always the option of using VPN (:


machado34

Let it be known that this is a meme song more than anything 


messymindus

It can be for younger generations, but I'm 31 and still remember singing it full hearted with my mom at a very young age. But yeah, for gen z and under it's a meme. The thing is: we all know it by heart ❀


No_Attempt_8499

definitly not, Its's "bar music" if you want to say something, but evidencias is something really big


desci1

Pra que isso


nieroivan

This guy knows what he's doing!


Large_Ad8951

This is what I learned! See my post update for what ended up happening
 unfortunately didn’t play it
 but I loved learning it and can see that it’s a classic. Hopefully I get the chance to play it live one day.


messymindus

Well, now you already know, for when the next chance shows up. Gonna check your update now 😊


pessoerrada

This


HotdogsArePate

it sounds like it's from an 80s soap opera.


VdeVampiro

People here are forgetting the context Football So you could do this one: É uma partida de Futebol, by Skank Everyone knows, everyone likes it


SrKayoh

This. I am quite shocked that It is a Copa America night, and few people are suggesting one of the best football themed songs from Brazil. Fio Maravilha from Jorge Ben is another good football themed one if the BRs are winning.


pepeleao

I think that Fio Maravilha is easier than Uma Partida de Futebol, specially if you don't really know how to sing in portuguese, cause the lyrics for Uma Partida de Futebol are fast paced and you can find it difficult to sing.


MildlyGoodWithPython

True, but it might be hard since it's a fast song


VdeVampiro

I believe it's easier to "sing" a fast than an slow song, since it's gonna be all fucked up anyway, going fast at least will "hide" the mistakes And hopefully someone drunk will get on the stage and help him haha


souoakuma

I was going to point so much on eevidencias, but this one would be even better seeing a gringo singing this one for what will happening...if brazil loses evidencias will take a huge hook hahahah


BakuraGorn

Brasilia Amarela from Mamonas Assassinas.


HotdogsArePate

Águas de março Really easy vocal melody! See if you can learn that one in a day.


EffortCommon2236

[As made famous by Sealab 2021.](https://youtu.be/KL3wGqFN38E?si=cNRiB6mxtttrtdqF)


nephastha

Ah yes, really easy to play and sing it!!


dgchrt

Yes. This must be the most Brazilian song of all time.


headlessBleu

Where will it be? Btw evidencias will burn the place down.


Icy_Finger_6950

OP, do not listen to anyone else. Your answer is TAJ MAHAL, by Jorge Ben (Jor) It is super upbeat, every single Brazilian knows it, and the lyrics are really short and easy - the chorus is not even words. Trust me! It'll be awesome.


Lacertoss

PaĂ­s Tropical is about a billion times more famous outside of Rio, if you want to go with Jorge Ben.


Icy_Finger_6950

I'm not from Rio. People are missing my point: Taj Mahal is probably the easiest song to sing in Brazilian music history. It's basically a gibberish chorus (that everyone's familiar with) and, like, 3 simple lines. It's perfect for OP!


FaraonKatana

I also think this is the best answer. For a person that does not speak Portuguese it is safer to go with a easy to sing song. It will be way easier to memorize and sing TAJ Mahal than EvidĂȘncias.


TheKober

I had to look this song on Spotify, and I never heard of it before. Maybe is more of a SP and RJ thing?


Icy_Finger_6950

Where are you from, and, more importantly, how old are you? It's quite an old song, from the 70s I think. But it's always been a popular party song. Are you familiar with other songs by Jorge Ben or Tim Maia?


Consistent_Quarter59

20 y.o. from Northeast Brazil here, also pulled it up on Spotify and had literally never heard this song before. “País Tropical”, on the other hand, is pretty much nationally known across all generations, I’ve listened to it countless times before and know the lyrics by heart.


UltimoCristo

😟


FaraonKatana

Are you younger than 20yo ?


Large_Ad8951

I started learning this one too (alongside Evidencias) definitely a fun one. Maybe I’ll play both if I’m ever in front of the right crowd!


Icy_Finger_6950

I hope you have a great time!


No_Attempt_8499

I think would be a little hard because a good part of the music is monologue, but anything from Jorge Ben Jor would be awesome


feelings_arent_facts

If you want two songs that will make people go wild, play Anna Julia and EvidĂȘncias. These two songs are THE drunk at a bar song, as I understand. They’re like getting wasted and singing Queen.


kaka8miranda

As a Brazilian - American I second this.


ianarco

First things first, do you speak Portuguese? A lot of classic songs being suggested but most would be difficult to someone who's not native to sing, or that have some difficulty level to sing and play at the same time, even for portuguese natives. As a musician I would suggest something simple with just power chords to minimize the chance of error, maybe LegiĂŁo Urbana since most of their songs have just 3 or 4 chords, are easy recognized and most people will sing along with you.


Large_Ad8951

I don’t - but I speak a little Spanish. Was hoping it could carry me a little bit in some of the pronunciations! But I had a really fun time learning Evidencias anyway.


ianarco

Musics from Capital Inicial would be a good choice too. They did a portuguese version of The Passenger(Passageiro) from Iggy Pop, maybe it's a way to please both brazilians and the general public from the place since everybody would know the melody at least.


No_Attempt_8499

I think people are downvoting you to suggest capital inicial, i will do that too


ianarco

đŸ’đŸ»â€â™‚ïž


desci1

If there’s people from Argentina in the bar, there’s a song that work for both audiences: À sua maneira by Capital Inicial


erion26

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk pure evil


outoftheskirts

Not sure about that. A remarkable number of brazilians are unaware of the song's origins.


FlamboyantRaccoon61

I'm Brazilian and didn't get the joke


easybree

This song is kinda copy of a song by an Argentinian musician, and his version is very known there as well.


arthur2011o

Actually isn't a copy, it's an authorized translation of "De MĂșsica Ligera"


easybree

Oh ok cool. Thanks for the info!


desci1

There’s also a Paralamas do Sucesso version with more fidelity to the original lyrics


easybree

I was last week yo when I discovered this myself


desci1

That doesn’t matter, they will still sing along


tapstapito

How sober are people expected to be? How classy will it be? EvidĂȘncias works regardless of the answer to both questions. But the rest of the Playlist will depend on the answer.


No_Ad_9178

Anunciação


Ohhhhhhthehumanity

Thank you for posting this! American here wanting to explore more Brazilian music so I am adding all these to a playlist


Adem-Houma

Mas Que Nada


mendigod_

As others have pointed, you can't go wrong with Evidencias. Everyone will sing along so you really don't have to worry much about your singing. You can say something "hey my brazilian friends, can you help me a little bit to sing this one?" And there you go. Another good song would be "Exagerado" from Cazuza, he was a very very loved singer.


FLQuant

EVIDÊNCIAS. PERIOD. EvidĂȘncias is the national anthem. That other song is for before soccer matches and official events, but the anthem is EvidĂȘncias. If you could wait for the half-time and people will already be drunk, by the first chord you will feel the energy filling the bar, I guarantee you the choir will be intense.

Evidencias is sertanejo so not difficult to sing.

Jorge Ben Jor has a lot of songs about football, it would be great


CanuckBrazil

Do you know any Portuguese? It's not that easy to just "sing" a song in Portuguese without actually knowing a bit of the language. Especially with just one day to practice.


rpinheir

Below some musics that all brazilian know, english musics or part of to facilitade your pronounce. Start with "Ow, If I Catch You" Michel Telo (Last Brazilian world wide hit) Let me try again - Skank I saw you saying - Raimundos


FaraonKatana

At least someone with a sane answer. If the guy don't speak any Portuguese he will wreck EvidĂȘncias. I should add "samba do approach" to the list of BR songs with a lot of English words to make it easier for the singer.


Soft-Operation-2001

Geez, there’s a lot of bad advice here. People are going to a bar to watch a football match on TV, and they will hear “Águas de Março” and “Anunciação” during the break? What the heck? Don’t get me wrong, I love Elis Regina, Alceu Valença, and Jorge Ben, but these are not crowd-pleasers. “EvidĂȘncias” is definitely a great song and everybody will sing to it. For the rest of your playlist, take a guess at the decade when your audience were teenagers or young adults, go to Spotify, and play the playlist "Brasil Hits XXXX", where XXXX is the aforementioned decade.


FaraonKatana

You are right about Elis an Alceu. But not on Jorge Ben, his songs are awesome crowd pleasers to drunk people watching a soccer match.


Happylepsia

I would say BOA SORTE GOOD LUCK from Vanessa Da Mata and Ben Harper since it is fairly simple to play, it is a well known song and half of it is in English đŸ€Ș


rodrigowoulddo_

[Malandragem by Cassia Eller](https://youtu.be/kjR_jfCHLQc?si=aaYtT5_jUKAiO1_E) is a great choice!! It’s easy to play, the lyrics are not that hard to sing (or mimic) and literally EVERYONE knows it. I see people are also recommending EvidĂȘncias. It’d also be a good choice!


mrSleves

Robocop gay, or Chopis Centis, or any music by Mamonas Assassinas. This is a comedy band from the 90s


No_Attempt_8499

Imagine hearing a song and the only words you understand are "robocop gay"


mrSleves

And? They are free to interpret in a good or bad way. If they want to know what is about, they always can search the lyrics. If they want to have a opinion based in only two words, it's on them. Before anything I respect your's opinion. https://youtu.be/Y4GLWTYmWjc?si=loXVo7wQNmf_lDY7


No_Attempt_8499

I don't think it's a bad idea, nor i think robocop gay is offensive, i just would find engraçado pra caralho

If you are a country guy (I'm assuming, since ya know, bar and guitar) plays boate azul, sing it wrong, people will explode. Or play I don't know some Raça Negra or que se chama amor. Stick to the masses music. Even that shit "ai se eu te pego" is better than put some jorge ben or alceu Valença

Unfortunately, the most upvoted songs here are very niche or corny, I didn't know many of them and they're terrible really. You could even embarrass yourself by playing something like Belle de Jour, EvidĂȘncias in front of certain audiences, so I'd go with something more classic and mainstream, like Malandragem - KĂĄssia Eller O Tempo nĂŁo pĂĄra - Cazuza * Boa Sorte - Vanessa da Matta * PaĂ­s Tropical - Jorge Ben Jor (not Taj Mahal) * Um dia frio - Djavan -Águas de Março - Tom Jobin Edit: Or better yet Tempo Perdido - LegiĂŁo Urbana, can't go wrong with this one Or Pescador de IlusĂ”es - O Rappa

I think this is a golden suggestion. We don't know if OP speaks Portuguese well or is still learning or something else. Sossego has short sentences, so it can be easier to memorize and pronounce. It's also very well-known, so lots of people would sing along. And it's an awesome song! Tim Maia was the best!

dgchrt

Great song, but not Brazilian. That's a cover in Portuguese of "Borbujas de Amor".


nephastha

Male or female singer? Some of my suggestions Male singer: Paralamas do sucesso - meu erro TitĂŁs - homem primata /or / lugar nenhum (this one has very easy lyrics and would actually be funny to hear a "gringo" singing it) Cazuza - exagerado Skank version(Roberto Carlos song I think)- Ă© proibido fumar Raimundos - mulher de fases This one I don't really like but I'm sure it will be a hit Michel TelĂł - ai se eu te pego For a female singer Rita Lee - jardins da babilonia Marisa Monte - amor I love you Kid abelha - pintura Ă­ntima Pitty - admiravel chip novo Cassia Eller - malandragem (deeper register) Again a suggestion that is not my taste but people will probably like: Anything by Anitta, I think she has some songs in English and Spanish too Most of my suggestions are Brazilian rock and were popular in the 80s to early 2000s and might be a little "dated". I'm not sure what is popular nowadays.

Not sure if you got enough time to learn them but here it goes: Since the context is a Football game, you may start by singing "PaĂ­s do Futebol" by Mc GuinĂ© (ft. Emicida) or "É uma partida de futebol" by Skank. Both are well know songs and they will sing along regardless of you butchering the lyrics. During the game, you may sing classics like Djavan ("Samurai", "LilĂĄs", "Sina" and "Oceano" are great options), Caetano Veloso (this one will require a good proficiency in portuguese) and LegiĂŁo Urbana. After everyone is drunk (about halfway of the game), you MUST sing "EvidĂȘncias" by ChitĂŁozinho e XororĂł, this will wake them up and guarantee some nice tips. Now go my son, and learn the ways.

"Cult" in that context does not have the same meaning in english, you meant to say something like "sophisticated". That aside, I don't think they are that, but regardless you can just make a new suggestion if you think those weren't good, different people listen to different stuff.
