I LOVE this song!!!
I just watched the movie, and surprisingly now that I’m older I actually understand some of the portuguese. I’m gonna make this into a ringtone and take it with me everywhere.

I’m glad someone loves that song as much as I do! Such fond memories from childhood.

Hi Eric

For all Brazilian Music there is a site http://www.discosdobrasil.com.br where you can find a lot of stuff. There you find approximately 10 recordings of “Os Quindins de Yaya” and you can search by music, record, author, singer, etc.
By the way, quindim is a sweet made of sugar and egg’ s gems, very yellowand very weeet, and Yaya is a nickname for señorita (little lady or Miss).

well, my favorite is aurora singing the disney version..

But there are other versions you can find with a band that Barroso used called Trio Irakitan.

Hey Johnny, thanks so much for chiming in with this information! Do you have a favorite rendition of the song that is commercially available?

Hey Eric,

Thanks for the plug. The author of Os Quindins de Yaya is Ary Barroso. He wrote Baia and also Aquarela do Brasil. He was good friends with Carmen Miranda who sang the original of Os Quindins… her sister is the one who sings it in the Disney cartoon.

Mystery solved!

Cheers,

Johnny
