Point of departure for this musical journey is Hollywood, paying tribute to Carmen Miranda, considered to be the precursor of Brazil's Tropicalismo, with her version of 'South American Way'. Carmen Miranda was a Portuguese-born Brazilian samba singer, Broadway actress and Hollywood film star popular in the 1940s and 1950s. She was, by some accounts, the highest-earning woman in the United States and noted for her signature fruit hat outfit she wore in the 1943 movie 'The Gang's All Here'.
