The song has also been adapted by many composers and singers, including Sergio Mendes, Maurício Manieri, Ivete Sangalo, Shakira and Claudia Leitte.
In addition, a Hebrew rendition of the song titled Eretz Tropit Yafa (אֶרֶץ טְרוֹפִּית יָפָה, ‘A Beautiful Tropical Country’), performed by Yehudit Ravitz, was included in a project by the same title featuring Hebrew adaptations of Brazilian songs (produced by Matti Caspi, written by Ehud Manor, and arranged by Ahrale Kaminsky), and proved to be an enduring success.
[2] Simonal booked a studio and, on July 22, 1969, took Jorge Ben there, where his band (Sound Three formed by César Camargo Mariano on the piano, Toninho on drums and Sabá on bass, plus Chacal on percussion) was already waiting for him.
Simonal and Camargo came up with an arrangement that removed entire stanzas and included an encore in which only the first syllables of the words were pronounced.
[2] Camargo also put a coda in which he appropriated the lyrics of "Eu Sou Flamengo" by Pedro Caetano, which had been recorded by Jorge Veiga in 1954.
