Porto da Barra with Zona Harmonica Frevo Breakdown

Story Behind The Song

Porto da Barra in Salvador da Bahia is one of the few points of land in Brazil that face west over the Atlantic Ocean (due to its unique geography near the entrance to the Bay of All Saints). Because of this, Porto da Barra features sunsets which are both spectacularly beautiful and endearing because of the way people (visitors and local residents alike) applaud, cheer, whistle and sing while the sun sets over the sea. This special version of Porto da Barra features a Harmonica Frevo Breakdown performed by Zona Harmonica which includes Luiz Rocha, Breno Pádua and Ramone El-Bachá.

Porto da Barra
Lyrics by Douglas E. Adair © 2015

Note: this song was inspired by and pays tribute to the Drifter's classic beach song "Under the Boardwalk" and copyright/ mechanical licenses have been acquired.

When the sun goes down in Salvador da Bahia (BRAZIL!)
Raise our glasses high, make a toast to "Mais Um Dia!" (ONE MORE DAY!)
Porto da Barra, Salvador da Bahia (BRAZIL!)
Celebrating in harmony down by the sea (THAT'S WHERE WE'LL BE!)

Porto da Barra, sun's going down
Porto da Barra, always around
Porto da Barra, one more day is done
Porto da Barra, night's just begun
Porto da Barra (VAMOS LÁ!) (LET'S GO THERE!)

Interval músical

Quando o sol se põe em Salvador da Bahia (BRASIL!)
Pegamos nossos copos, brindamos "Mais Um Dia!" (ONE MORE DAY!)
Porto da Barra, Salvador da Bahia (BRASIL!)
Pela praia celebrando em harmonia (THAT'S WHERE WE'LL BE!)

Porto da Barra, o sol se pondo
Porto da Barra, sempre por perto
Porto da Barra, um dia completa
Porto da Barra, a noite começa
Porto da Barra (VAMOS LÁ!) (LET'S GO THERE!)

Finale - Zona Harmonica Frevo Breakdown
