It is considered one of the most successful and influential choros of all time; this standard has been covered by many artists, like singer Carmen Miranda, acoustic guitarist João Pernambuco , guitarist Pepeu Gomes, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma (Obrigado Brazil).[1] It was voted by the Brazilian edition of Rolling Stone as the 53rd greatest Brazilian song.[1] The 2005 documentary Brasileirinho, about the choro genre, is named after the 1947 song.[2]
