Adventures of a Gringa uploads a series of University of Sao Paulo's documentaries about the politics of race in Brazil: Coffee and milk, or water and vinegar? “The documentary tries to debunk the notion of “racial democracy” in Brazil, as well as explaining concepts of race, racism, and identity. The truth is that it's difficult to cover such a complex topic in less than an hour, but there is a lot of valuable and valid information, and more importantly, different views and opinions on race in Brazil.”

Hi John, I think the song to which you refer is “Deutschland” by Ronnie McIntosh. You can check out this link
Hope that helped.
You can find all the songs you need to properly support the Soca Warriors in Germany at the download section of http://www.thewarriornation.com. This of course does not include the “official” (British) song, but all the real soca songs, including “Deutschland”, “Warrior Anthem” and the best of all “Fighter”.
