The Independent just said what everyone already knows.

Brazil is booming

It is a 100th birthday party in a well-to-do postcode of Sao Paulo, where the house of our journalist host – he and another writer pal are actually each turning 50 – slips graciously down a slope to a terrace and the chatter is nearly all politics. Then the DJ cuts the music in the middle of a samba everyone knows. They reflexively fill in: “Ò coisinha tão bonitinha do papai” – “Oh daddy’s beautiful little thing”.
