Os Saltimbancos

Os Saltimbancos were a children's MPB project with an album of the same name, released in 1977. The musical fable was translated and adapted into Portuguese by Chico Buarque at the end of 1976 from the play by Sergio Bardotti and Luis Enríquez Bacalov, who had adapted the tale "The Bremen Musicians" by the Grimm brothers. The interpretation of the animals was done by Nara Leão (the Cat), Miúcha (the Chicken), and the singers from MPB4, Magro (the Donkey) and Ruy (the Dog), in addition to the children's choir.
