[laughing]

Whoo-hoo!

[engine chugging slows]

I love music.

When I visited Brazil,

I heard some

really exciting music

that made me wanna join in.

[whistle toots]

All aboard for a big adventure!

[lively percussive

music playing]

"Batucada."

[whistle toots]

Hey, Thomas.

Do you hear that?

It sounds like people are

getting ready for the carnival.

I've never heard music like

that until I came to Brazil.

-What do you call it?

-Batucada.

It's Brazilian party music.

Ooh, I love it!

Boom, boom, cha-cha-cha!

Boom, boom, cha-cha-cha!

Oops.

[giggles] I wish

I could stay and listen,

but I've got to deliver

these vehicle parts...

-[metallic thud]

-[pellets rustling]

Oh!

That sounds like iron pellets.

See you later!

[whistle toots]

[vehicle parts

clunking rhythmically]

[whistle toots]

Olá, Fernando.

Hey, Thomas.

Nice beats.

You've got a good rhythm

going there.

-A good rhythm?

-That's what I just said.

[laughs] Oh, yes, Fernando,

I suppose I have.

I am making some

great sounds today.

If you want to hear some

great sounds, Thomas,

you should check out

the carnival.

[gasps] A carnival?

Will there be party music

like batucada?

Of course.

[laughs]

Then I'll definitely be there!

[whistle toots]

See you later!

[lively percussive

music playing]

[whistle toots]

Oh, wow,

a real live batucada band.

-Olá!

-Olá!

-You know our music?

-Yes!

It looks and sounds like fun!

[laughs]

It is.

Problem is,

we missed our train.

Can you give us a ride

to the carnival?

Oh, sorry, sir,

but I'm pulling

a goods train today,

not passenger coaches.

[chuckles]

That's all right.

We can ride in your brake van.

Let's go!

[laughs]

Okay!

But it's not gonna be

as comfortable as a coach.

[whistle toots]

[cheering]

[laughing]

[vehicle parts

clunking rhythmically]

[laughs]

Hey, nice beats!

[lively percussive

music playing]

[laughs]

[laughing]

Oh, wow!

What's that sound?

Do you have a laughing monkey

back there?

You mean this?

[squeaky percussive music]

Yes!

That's the sound

of the cuíca.

[Thomas]

I was happy to bereally, really useful,pulling goodsand taking passengers.And it was like I had myvery own musical soundtrack.

[electronic piano trills]

[upbeat organ music playing]

[whistle tooting rhythmically]

[lively trumpets sounding]

[whistle tooting]

[musician]

Hey, Mr. Blue t*nk Engine!

This is our stop!

[vehicle parts

clanking rhythmically]

[Thomas grunts]

Thanks for the lift!

[laughing]

My pleasure, sir.

Hey, if you're

coming back this way,

why don't you join in with us?

Your railway rhythm

really got us going.

-Really?

-Yes.

We won't start the carnival

without you.

What's your name?

Oh... [laughs]

I'm Thomas.

We'll wait for you

so you can kick it off.

Oh, wow.

Thanks!

[whistle toots]

Bye!

[Thomas]

I was so excitedto be part of the carnivalthat I cha-cha-cha-edall the way to the goods yard.I dropped off my cars...

[whistle toots]

And I set offback to the carnival.

[train chugging]

It's awfully quiet...

[gasps]

-[rails squeak]

-Oh, no!

I don't have my musical cars.

How can I kick start

the carnival without them?

Do you have any cars or cargo

I could take back to Rio?

Sure.

Take whatever you need.

Uh, maybe those ones?

Oh, empty flatbeds

won't make a fun sound.

Uh, do you have something

more clanky?

Maybe something that goes,

shuff, sha, shuff-shuff-shuff?

Boom, boom, cha-cha-cha?

Don't you have

any musical cars?

There must be something.

A-ha!

[giggles]

That'll do.

I'll take it!

[bright metallic thud]

[whistle toots]

[rails screeching]

[car clunking]

[Thomas]

Everyone was ready and waiting-for the carnival to start.-

[yawns]Everyone except me, that is.

[rails screeching]

[laughs]

Olá!

-Here I am!

-[car clattering heavily]

Ay-yi-yi.

What a terrible noise.

Thomas, where have you been?

Well...

[laughs softly]

I delivered my musical cars,

so I had to find another one

so I could start the show.

[heavy metallic thudding]

-[car creaks]

-[thudding]

[laughs sheepishly]

But you don't need

that rusty old thing

to kick off the carnival!

I don't?

But I...

I thought you needed me

to make a big noise.

[laughs]

We do... with your whistle.

[laughing]

Oh, yeah!

I forgot I could do that.

[whistle toots]

[lively percussive

music playing]

[crowd cheering]

Boom, boom, cha-cha-cha!

Boom, boom, cha-cha-cha!

[whistle toots]

Making music is

a wonderful thing.

And there are so many ways

to make music.

When Sidney hadtrouble rememberingall the things he had to do,I suggestedthat he sing a songto help remind him.♪ Ha, ha, ha,hey, hey, hey ♪♪ A very special jobfor me, oh ♪[Thomas]

When I was pullingsome noisy cargo,it sounded so musicalthat I was invitedto kick off the carnival.But after I dropped offmy cargo,I thought I wouldn'tbe able to join in.But there was another wayI could make music...

With my whistle!

[whistle tooting]

Whether playing an instrument,

dancing along,

or just listening in,

-everyone can enjoy music.

-[whistle blows]

Come on, Thomas!

It's time to go!

See you next time!
