samba enredo's 1993
hit
'peguei um ita no norte', is considered as one of the greatest of all time
sambas. a song written and composed by a collection
of musicians from the
salgueiro school of samba, it was integral
to their victory at the 1993 carnival.
the song is also sometimes known as
explode coraçäo, translated as heart explodes, due to
the lyrics of its iconic chorus. it was inspired by
dorival
caymmi's song,
peguei um ita no norte, which tells the story of his 1938 voyage
from bahia to rio de janeiro. ●
