This is the song today:"Agoniza Mas Não Morre " by Beth Carvalho

Today we're celebrating the centenary of samba-songwriter Nelson Sargento, the author of "Agoniza Mas Não Morre", born in Rio de Janeiro on July 25th, 1924. The song is a homage to samba, which as he sings "may agonize but won't die". Beth Carvalho recorded the song, which immediately became a success, as she was at her peak upon its release. The Godmother of Samba, Carvalho revitalized the career of seminal samba songwriters such as Cartola and in this case here, Cartola's pupil Nelson Sargento, a.k.a the Sargeant.
