Hey Arun!
Great sequence of posts about Brazil. Quick note, though.. the video on your post is not local music, that’s music (and culture) from Chile (afaik, might be from another south american country).
For some reason, chilean musicians like to come to brazil and play in parks and streets. It’s a fairly common thing on all large cities (that I know.)
Keep posting!

Thanks Eduardo, double checking with a colleague seems to indicate this was a Peruvian dance
