This Street Performer's Near-Perfect 'Sultans Of Swing' Cover Is Proof That Brazil Will Get Past Its World Cup Defeat

This Cover Of 'Sultans Of Swing' Is Proof That Brazil Will Be Okay

If anyone could get Brazil out of its current soccer-induced funk, we'd put our money on this guy.

A video of this guitar-totin' busker performing a rousing rendition of the Dire Straits classic "Sultans of Swing" in São Paulo has gone viral this week.

The cover is so delicious (scroll to 5:00 to listen to the street performer's epic solo) that a YouTuber said Wednesday that he "loved it so much I threw a handful of change at my computer and broke my display."

"Okay, enough World Cup Brasil memes," quipped another. "Here's a Brasilero just being awesome."

The video, first uploaded on July 5, has been viewed more than 108,000 times so far.
