I had the good fortune to have the ever sunny Brazilian singer/songwriter Jair Oliveira in the studio last September. Oliveira is the son of Jair Rodriguez, one of Brazil’s most beloved musical stars, and famous for his hit “Deixa Isso Pra La” which is arguably the first Brazilian hip hop song. For those you who follow the blog, you may remember at that time Oliveira sang a charming song he wrote for his baby daughter, called "Showertime."
He also sang a song about soccer, and suggested that I hold it in reserve for the upcoming World Cup in South Africa.  Which I did. It’s a damned good song too.
Let the games begin!

If you watch our premieres and blocks you know Jair Oliveira's songs "Intacto" and "Tiro Onda." Jair was in our studio the other day, and he gave us an exclusive performance of one of the songs off his latest CD, which is dedicated to his two year old daughter Isabella, and is now nominated for a Latin Grammy. The song is a delightful ode called "Showertime." This is just a teaser though.  He sang us five songs in all, so keep an eye out on the blog for a much more extensive interview and more music from this wonderfully sunny Brazilian.
