Thanks for the explanation.

BTW, I love Brazilian popular music: samba, bossa nova.  I have Bebel
Gilberto's first album and like it very much.  I was wondering: Would
you be able to send me some recommendations, a web site, perhaps, of
both popular and classical Brazilian music?

I know how to say Thank You in Portugese, but not to write it.

Cheers,
