Michael G. Nastos of Allmusic said "There is no real core band, but rather a Gypsy circus loose association with Baptista clearly the madcap ringleader. Brazilian music can be the center of Beat the Donkey, but also Balkan sounds, nomadic music, rock and funk, and a festive attitude that surely appeals to summertime outdoor merrymaking".[2]

gollark: And OSes have rather a lot of sources of unpredictable data which is aggregated into "random" values.
gollark: CPUs have onboard random number generators using thermal noise or something now.
gollark: Does anyone know how to give SQL queries array parameters in `tiny_sqlite`? SQLite has a CARRAY thing but it's not builtin and `tiny_sqlite` doesn't mention any support for it. Are there other libraries which can do this? I think I can use the JSON extension for this but ew.
gollark: Doing it yourself would probably be vulnerable to horrible side channel attacks.
gollark: `asyncCheck thing1()`, `asyncCheck thing2()`, `runForever`?
