Two songs by Carmen Miranda

Our first South Asia nom (as far as I'm aware - certainly, if it passes, these will be our first South American featured sounds). Carmen Miranda, the girl with the tutti-fruitti hat, was one of the earliest and biggest celebrities to come out of Brazil, still well-known today, and a classic singer of samba. These two songs are from her early work in Brazil, before she moved to America, which also places them right at the start of the rise of Brazillian popular music.

While not a set as such, it seems convenient to nominate them together - they provide a wider insight to Carmen Miranda's work that way, and I think they are of similar quality.

Used in Carmen Miranda, Music of Brazil, and Samba.

• Nominate and support. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 10:41, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
• What is its American copyright status? Zginder 2008-08-19T13:53Z (UTC)
  • Rule of the shortest term puts it out of copyright. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 13:55, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
    • The shortest term is not used in the Africa. Zginder 2008-08-19T14:13Z (UTC)
      • Checking, the Brazilian copyright act was revised in 1998, so the one currently active isn't the one that applies to figure out if this regained copyright in 1996. According to commons:Template_talk:PD-Brazil-media, works before 1936 were in the public domain in 1996. Hence, these are out of copyright in America.

• Support I am convinced. Zginder 2008-08-20T22:45Z (UTC)
• Support (snaps fingers) I should've gotten to Carmen Miranda sooner. Durova^Charge! 23:51, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
• Support great stuff. Lots of recordings from singers of all types is available from the 1930s and if some is it out of copyright we should make use of it. --Kleinzach 06:02, 29 August 2008 (UTC) P.S. Next Carlos Gardel? --Kleinzach 06:05, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
