-: Hello everyone, my name is Eduardo Mendonça.
I'm from Brazil.
Brazil is this little, little, little, little country
in Africa, right?
(laughs)
Of course not.
Brazil is a big, big, big country in South America.
And my first language is Portuguese.
I'm very, very happy to be here with you today
to share a song that I wrote called
Criançando.
Criançando is a word
that does not exist in Portuguese.
I just make up.
Criançando means being a child.
But being a child, it's like written down together.
Be a child, altogether, being a child, one word.
That's what Criançando is about, okay?
So for this I will need help from my guitar.
Hey guitar, could you please come here?
Oh guitar, thank you, thank you so much.
Let's together show how the
Criançando sounds.
Are you all ready to listen to Criançando?
Sorry, I can't hear you.
Are you ready?
Yeah, that is me.
(upbeat music)
Let me sing this song again for you.
Oh, did you like it? (laughs)
Let me sing again for you, okay?
Here we go.
Ready, here we go.
(upbeat music)
Yes, that's the song.
Would you like to learn that with me?
Here you go, it's not that complicated.
Here you go, repeat after me.
Beautiful, let's try again.
Right after me, okay?
Here you go.
Beautiful, now let's sing-along, here you go.

Yes, let's try again, let's sing along.
One, two, three, here you go.
Oh yes, okay.

One more time, "pé dentro".
Let me hear you again, "pé dentro".
Yes, "pé dentro".
Now let's say, "pé fora".
Beautiful, one more time, after me.
"pé fora"

"pé dentro, pé fora"
And go.

(upbeat music)
Yes, whoa, I'm so happy to hear how hard
you have been working on that song.
Okay, now it's time to move a little bit farther
from this, okay?
We used to say...
You're gonna say the same thing again.
You hear that?
Okay, let me do the whole thing, okay, here we go.
Now it's your turn.
One, two, three, go.
(upbeat music)
Wow, we almost got to the whole song.
You just need a little bit more, okay?
So, the second part goes like this.
Get it?
Let's say, "palma".
"Palma"
Beautiful, okay.
Let me sing again for you, okay, here we go.
Yeah, let's sing along.
One, two, three, here you go.
Now it's your turn, okay?
You're gonna be singing, gonna be count on three,

to sing the second part and just say
"palma palma palma".
Here you go, ready?
One, two, three, go.
Yes, you know what?
Right now we are ready to sing the whole thing.
Let's do it together.
One, two, three, here you go.
Yes, you did it, you did it.
Okay, now this song goes together with a move.
There's a very, very, very simple movement.
I'm gonna show you how the movement goes
and then also I'm gonna be tell you,
I'm gonna be share you, I'm gonna let you know,
share with you and let you know
what this song is talking about
because it's in Portuguese, right?
It's in my first language.
Now is a time that you learn the movement
and as well to understand what the lyric says.
Here you go.
"Roda roda" means going in circle.
"pé dentro," I gotta put in my foot in,
"pé fora" and then put it away.
Yes?
Try again.
"pé dentro, pé fora"
Yes, okay, let's try.
Here you go.
We're going in the circle singing
and then you're gonna be say, "pé dentro, pé fora".
Let's try again, here you go.
Okay, let's spin around this way here.
Got it?
Let's try, here you go.
One, two, three, here you go.
Yes.
The second part,
let's do the same thing.
You're going around the circle.
"Palma" is when you do this.
(clap)
"Palma"
(clap) What
"palma" means in English?
Yes, clap, I knew you guys are gonna get this.
Here you go.
Just say "palma, palma, palma".
How many times we clap?
Yes, three times, okay?
If you clap two or four, that's okay.
That's okay, make mistakes and you can try again
and clap three times.
"Palma, palma, palma"
Okay, here you go, let's try.
(clapping)
Yes, you got everything.
Now, let's do the movement without the guitar.
Let's say, hey guitar, thank you very much.
Let me hear you.
Hey guitar.
Yes, now is the time to get the guitar
go back to the place.
You're gonna be doing the movement with you, oh.
Okay?
Yes, thank you guitar, thanks for everything.
Here you go.
Now is the time to do the movement.
Okay, let's start moving on that direction here.
Beautiful, okay, and if you have people with you,
maybe with older young people,
you can join hands and they can sing the song
and do all the movements together,
and they're going around the circle
while you sing.
Okay, here you go, are you ready?
One, two, three, here you go.
(clapping)
Oh yes, now to finish.
Just before I say goodbye let me grab my guitar again.
My magical guitar's gonna be jump on my body.
You gonna see that?
You gonna see it again?
Hey guitar, can you please come over and help me to play?
Yeah, thanks guitar.
So, let's play for the last time
the whole song with the movement, okay?
Let's play together.
One, two, three, go.
(clapping)
Thank you, thank you very much.
Before I go let me ask the name of the song.
Okay, I responded for you because when I ask you

Yes, being a child, right?
I forgot what does mean.
"pé dentro"
"pé fora"
Yes, beautiful.
And how about "palma"?
Yes, claps.
Thank you, thank you so much.
I hope I see you soon, and keep practicing.
Because it's so cool to see you working very hard
to learn a song in Portuguese
and do a movement and also do a little bit dancing,
right, while you sing.
My name is Eduardo Mendonça.
I'm very, very happy to be able to be here
and to share my song with you.
Let's say bye in Portuguese.
