Video Premiere
Artist: Fernanda Porto
Song: "Sambasim"
Country: Brazil
Official Website
Here's the song that propelled Fernanda Porto into the ranks of� Brazil's chartbusters.� The big hit was a drum �n bass mix by dj Patif.� Our video track however, is from Porto's self-titled debut CD, in which her playing and arrangement skills were showcased equally with her singing. Here, the arrangement has been changed in favor of a gentler jazz-bossa sound that percolates pleasantly under the catchy tune.
To own the music of Fernanda Porto, visit the Link TV Music Store.

Repeat times are:
Tuesday,�11/2 at 1:30 AM ET (10:30 PM PT)
