“Canto das Três Raças” is a Brazilian classic made famous in the 1970s by renowned samba singer Clara Nunes. Composed by Mario Duarte and Nunes’ husband poet Paulo César Pinheiro, the song tells of the three cultures – Indigenous, European, and African – whose fraught interactions led to the blend of joy and sorrow that makes Brazilian music so remarkable.
