Gringo de Sunga

from Brazilian Strings Trio by Ted Falcon, Andrew Finn Magill, Nando Duarte

subscriber exclusive

about

Only Ted can do the story behind this track justice because it's his story and he is a hilarious storyteller. A "sunga" is what they call the speedo-like male swimwear in Brazil. As the proud gringo he is, Ted just couldn't muster up the courage to put one of those things on and would always go to the beach in his giant swimming trunks in spite of the snickers from the confused Brazilians.

One day he mustered up enough courage to buy a sunga and went to the beach in one of these tight bathing suits and of course fit in with all of the Brazilians (as much as a gringo can). Feeling empowered, Ted sat on the beach and wrote this tune.
