(Brazil) Tontonho is from Paraiba, in the Northwest mountainous area of Brazil, considered by some to be "hillbilly" country. It's no wonder that Totonho's best friend is a mountain goat, as manifested in this video, and in his CD Totonho e os Cabra. But far from being a naïve video, this is a cutting edge animation that backs up lyrics filled with whimsical "saudade", the elusive sense of regret and longing that is a national characteristic of Brazil, and particularly the Portuguese language.
