Quem, Quem, Quem

Song Sketch


This Wednesday is my maternal grandmother's birthday. I never got to meet her as she passed away before I was born but I've heard so many stories; she was very much into music and completely zany and lovable.


My mother is the little girl on the steps.

I thought I'd cover a song in her native language, Portuguese, that my mother said she remembered her singing. It's about a duck and goose with musical aspirations that may or may not be supported by actual talent.


Happy Birthday, Vovó!



I also have a giveaway going on right now - it's very easy to enter, so be sure to leave a comment there! If you aren't the dress-wearing type (or gender), still leave a comment and maybe win it for a grateful wife or friend!


If you would like a copy of this song for you, just let me know in a comment! If it's your first request, please leave your email address as well.

    Your grandmother was so beautiful (and your mother was such a cute little girl)!!! You clearly get your style and musical talent from her. I love this song! Thank you so much for posting it! I have downloaded it from your soundcloud music player (by pressing the down arrow on it)and I will play it on Sunday Standards (so long as you don't mind, my listeners always call into tell me how they love your music).

    Oh, this is so cool Emma!
    I'm Brazilian and I want to say that your portuguese is pretty good! Congratulations!
    This is a funny song.

    I love your blog, I'm always here, but this is actually the first time I post here.
