"Verão Vermelho" is a song by Santana which came off the album Festival. Carlos Santana pays homage to the late, legendary Brazilian singer, Elis Regina. This song features some excellent acoustic guitar with The Waters Family backing vocalists singing the meaningless words, ”Badadup, badadup, badadup, ba pa pa ba pa pa.” Santana plays a flamenco guitar solo during the intro and at the conclusion. This is a first for him. The flamenco guitar solo at the end is accompanied by an old-style fanfare with strings foregrounded over supporting brass instruments.
Verão Vermelho is Portuguese for Red Summer. It is also a television series [1].
