Literally The Birds of Brazil, this title refers to the Brazilian people. In Part 1 Passaros coloridos (Coloured Birds) an ocarina or panflute imitates an amazon bird. Part 2 Pomba Triste (Sad Dove) is in a bossa nova style, and tells of the samba girls for whom carnival is not just fun but also a source of income. Part 3 Os Passaros no Carnaval (The Birds of the Carnival) is a typical fast samba from Rio and culminates in a spontaneous melody sung by all the carnival revellers.
