English is the second language here (the area relies heavily on tourism) and is taught in schools. Most of my students are Portuguese but they generally prefer English/American music, however I do make sure they do learn some songs in their native tongue.
Written Spanish and Portuguese look similar but their pronunciation is completely different and they generally cannot understand each other.
Raquel is a great kid and this is the first solo recording that she has made, you can see her eyes glancing down and to the right for her lyrics. I spent my time pulling faces and making gestures at her to make her smile and I love her, completely unrehearsed, double thumbs up at the end.
