A host of personalities ranging from Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, and Lenine reminisce about the life and work of songwriter, lawyer, and congressman Humberto Teixeira-aka "Baião Doctor"-the author of such classic Brazilian popular songs as "Asa Branca" (White Wing). Baião is a rhythm from the Northeast that moved South, took the entire country by storm, and then spread its magic around the world. This beautifully produced film brilliantly captures the feel of Brazilian life in the 1940s with musical performances, archival footage, and priceless testimonials.
