An old samba

Ludic interlude. Here is a song that cites who is considered the greatest Brazilian physicist, Cesar Lattes (1924-2005): “Ciência e Arte” (“Science and Art”), by Cartola and Carlos Cachaça, released in 1979. It mentions also the great architet Pedro Américo – one scientist and one artist. One can listen Gilberto Gil’s version in his CD “Quanta”, that has some other songs about “science and art”, in a very poetic way – and also a letter from Lattes himself (in Portuguese) that finishes quoting another architet, João Batista Artigas: “When Science clams up, Art talks”. Good listening!
