At the Spectator blog, Clive Davis has a post with a YouTube video that sets the Brazilian national anthem to images of the country.  He says:

I love the sheer operatic jauntiness.

It does have a Pucciniesque operatic sound to it.  This makes it a rather jolly and pleasant anthem.  It is not, pace Sullivan, “kinda fascist.”
