notes:
The text describes the fat Portuguese owners of the tobacco shop and how the convicts provision the fortresses and government buildings with water twice a day. The instrument that the blind singer uses is an Angola viola or a kind of lyre with four strings and the thumb piano is a marimba or oricongo. The sugar cane is identified as the nourishment of the musicians in text.
