On the Playlist: Gusttavo Lima

Man, these Brazilian singers are really working their way into my heart lately.  First there was Michel Teló, and now the young (younger than me - ack!) Gusttavo Lima with his hit "Balada Boa."  This latest is one you'll be hearing frequently these days, whether blared in the streets on the weekend or deafening you at your gym bailoterapia class.  Perhaps it is time to learn Portuguese so I can understand what the words mean.  In my opinion, however, the standout features are the rhythms and the insane danceability of these songs.  And also, what is quickly becoming an instant love-it factor for me: the accordion.  Accordion pop music?  Could this ever be popular in my home country, the United States of America?  Listen to it and decide for yourself...
