Back in '88, Brazil gifted us Levados Da Breca Os Artistas E As Músicas Que As Crianças Mais Curtem Na Televisão, a sugary-sweet explosion of kiddie joy that still echoes in the hearts of anyone who grew up tuning into TV shows. Released by Som Livre, this album is like a time capsule stuffed with giggles, wobbly dance moves, and cartoonish fun. It’s not just music—it's nostalgia wrapped in glittery wrapping paper.
Let me tell ya, there are two tracks here that stick to your brain like syrup on pancakes: "Mamãe Tá Com Ciúme Da Xuxa" and "Hey Mickey (Hey Mickey)." Oh man, “Mamãe Tá Com Ciúme Da Xuxa” hits different because, well, it’s kinda cheeky, right? Like, imagine being a kid hearing this for the first time—your mom jealous of a pop star?! That’s wild stuff when you’re six years old. The melody bounces around like a rubber ball, and before you know it, you’re humming it while brushing your teeth at night.
Then there’s “Hey Mickey,” which feels like they took some international hit and gave it a Brazilian twist. I mean, how do you forget those catchy chants about Mickey? It’s impossible! Every time it comes on, it’s like an instant party starter. You can almost picture kids running around in circles, pretending to be rockstars with hairbrushes as microphones. Pure chaos—but the good kind.
The rest of the album keeps the energy alive too. Tracks like “A Rima” and “Baile Dos Bichos” bring their own charm, mixing playful lyrics with beats that make even adults tap their feet. And let’s not ignore gems like “Super Bozo” or “A Dança Do King Kong”—they remind you of simpler times when life revolved around Saturday morning cartoons and snacks stolen from the kitchen.
But honestly, what makes Levados Da Breca special isn’t just its tunes—it’s the way it captures childhood innocence. Listening to it now feels like flipping through an old photo album where every page screams laughter and carefree days. Weird thing though, after all these years, one question lingers: why does no one talk about this album anymore? It deserves more love than dust collecting on shelves. Maybe we should bring it back…or maybe I’ll just keep playing “Mamãe Tá Com Ciúme Da Xuxa” on repeat until my neighbors complain. Either way works!
