A voice from god, Renni is from Bahia and does not come out for just any ocassion. Luckily, she has agreed to be part of this great Carnaval event and lend her voice, talents, and charm to Rio Joe's Carnaval Ball.
Having sung around the world, she has settled down in the Los Angeles area where she comes out for special events. She will be singing some of the most beautiful samba enredos of all time so you don't want to miss out!
Renni Flores native of Bahia, Brazil. Bahia is considered the soul and heart beat of Brazil. Renni started singing at the age of 5, and in the early 80s she became the first woman in Bahia to sing with the group Bloco Afro Ilê Aiye in carnaval. She has the full rich sound needed to sing alone with drums of northeast Brazil. From there she performed at various festivals and directed her own folkloric dance company Bahia Magia, one of Brazil’s leading groups. Working with the state government, they toured worldwide.
This is the final version of the studio recording of the 2008 SambaLá Enredo. Kudos to SambaLá Bateria Director Jason Brancazio for a great mix of the tracks!
Tindô lêlê tindo lêlê tindô lálá
É samba aqui, é samba alí é samba lá
Criança
Berço da pureza, inocência e alegria
Sua energia me contagia
Criança, seu mundo de faz de conta
O mundo de fadas e fantasias (e magia)
Semente que o amor constrói
É fruto de homem e mulher
Futuro de um país que acredita
Que educação é mais que precisa
(é ou não é.?)
Tem enredo tem historia tem
Me embalo com você neném
(e na india)
Na India, Indonesia e Ethiopia
Entre tantos outros
Como ninguém nunca viu
Falta saúde, decencia
O nível da pobreza supera o Brasil
Brancas, amarelas e negras
Na sua mente
A cor que revela é uma só
Por isso com o sambaLa eu vou, no carnaval
Pra você criança exigindo um mundo melhor
Pra você criança exigindo um mundo melhor
Child
Cradle of pureness, innocence and happiness
Your energy is contagious to me
Child, your world makes sense
A world of fairies and fantasies (and Magic)
Seed that love made
The fruit of man and women
Future of a country that believes
That more education is needed
(it is, isn’t it?)
It has a theme, a history, it does!
Wrap me up with you child
(and in India)
In India, Indonesia and Ethiopia
Among many others
Like no one ever saw
Lack of health, decency
The level of poverty Brazil will overcome
White, yellow, and black
In your mind
The color that is revealed is only one
Because of this, SambaLá, I go to carnaval
For you child, I demand a better world
For you child, I demand a better world
