Reviews

'Typically immaculate performances of songs collected by the King's Singers on their global travels, and used as encores. Velvet vocal blending is a given, and mellifluous arrangements' (BBC Music Magazine)

'The King's Singers explore folk songs and melodies of the world in a collection of music from countries far and wide, ranging from Australian folksongs to traditional Brazilian choro (lamentation) music and Hungarian choral pieces. Designed to engage fans from all corners of the globe, people are encouraged to post musical memories, photos and videos onto a specially interactive map: http://kspostcards.com' (The Northern Echo)
This renowned Brazilian choro piece was popularized by the performance of Carmen Miranda in the film Copacabana in 1947. The lyrics describe the cooing of the tico-tico bird and the wooing of women. We loved singing this for the audience at our concert in Rio de Janeiro in 2013 during our debut visit to the wonderful country of Brazil.
