"Aquarela do Brasil" (Brazilian Portuguese: [akwaˈɾɛlɐ du bɾaˈziw]; 'Watercolor of Brazil'), commonly known in the English-speaking world simply as "Brazil", is a samba song written by Ary Barroso in 1939. The patriotic lyrics and celebration of the country of Brazil in the song helped create the genre of samba-exaltação. Recordings of the song were massively popular abroad and were featured in movies such as Saludos Amigos and the titular Brazil.
