The implication being these guys have “jaguar breath” because they indulged on cachaÃ§a.

It’s also the Brazilian name for the Mickey Mouse’s nemesis, “Bad Pete”.

Many great sambas came from Bafo da OnÃ§a quarters, in Ramos, Rio de Janeiro. It goes something like this:

….Here come the guys, oba! They surely can dance, oba! And the girls swaying, oba! So many women….

One more piece of useless info: the jaguar is playing a cuÃca, a Brazilian friction drum with a typical weeping sound.
