Tune of the Day: Os pintinhos no terreiro

Popular Brazilian tune

“Os pintinhos no terreiro" (which translates as “The Chicks in the Yard”) is a famous Brazilian choro composed by Zequinha de Abreu in 1932. Much like his world-famous “Tico-Tico no Fubá”, this piece features a fast, “hopping” melody that mimics the quick movements of little chicks scratching around a farmyard.
