Cultural Ignorance. At Least Cultural Insensitivity



I stumbled upon this old album from 1963, back when Americans had a brief fascination with Brazilian music.

The title is "Samba Para Dos." The Portuguese word for Two is Dois. Oops.

One likes to think this wouldn't happen today, just because the internet makes everything so easy. Surely someone would think to run the title translation through Google translator.
