Naked and Unafraid: Max de Castro and "A História da Morena Nua Que Abalou as Estruturas do Esplendor do Carnaval"

This song is so cool it hurts! The long title is A História da Morena Nua Que Abalou as Estruturas do Esplendor do Carnaval, and is the story of a woman who did funky dancing with nothing on but body paint at Rio's Carnival, inspiring the crowd and creating a scandal. It is performed by Max de Castro, the son of legendary Brazilian singer Wilson Simonal from Sao Paulo. De Castro blends classic Brazilian music with funk, soul, R&B, hip-hop and electronica. He takes inspiration from Brazilian funk pioneer Jorge Ben, and bossa nova guitarist Baden Powell, as well as Prince and Stevie Wonder. A História da Morena Nua Que Abalou as Estruturas do Esplendor do Carnaval can be found on De Castro's 2002 album Orchestra Klaxon and on the 2003 compilation Putumayo Presents: Brazilian Groove.
