Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar on Banjo

Eu Sei Que Vou te Amar

Composição: Vinícius de Moraes

Eu sei que vou te amar
Por toda a minha vida eu vou te amar
Em cada despedida eu vou te amar
Desesperadamente, eu sei que vou te amar
E cada verso meu será
Prá te dizer que eu sei que vou te amar
Por toda minha vida
Eu sei que vou chorar
A cada ausência tua eu vou chorar
Mas cada volta tua há de apagar
O que esta ausência tua me causou
Eu sei que vou sofrer a eterna desventura de viver
A espera de viver ao lado teu
Por toda a minha vida

Carmen Miranda (1909-1955) " The Brazilian Bombshell "

Carmen Miranda, pron. IPA: ['kaɾme͂j mi'rɐ͂dɐ], (February 9, 1909 – August 5, 1955); birth name Maria do Carmo Miranda da Cunha, GCIH) was a Portuguese-born[1] Brazilian[2] samba singer and motion picture star most active in the 1940s and 1950s. Famous for promoting Brazil all over the world, she was a Broadway star, the highest paid artist in Hollywood and the highest paid woman in the USA. She became best-known for her movie appearances, mostly musicals, wearing a hat with assorted tropical fruit on top, which has since become her iconic image.READ MORE HERE>>>










Carmen’s Hollywood image was one of a generic Latinness that blurred the distinctions between Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico as well as between samba, tango and habanera. It was carefully stylized and outlandishly flamboyant. She was often shown wearing platform sandals and towering headdresses made of fruit, becoming famous as "the lady in the tutti-frutti hat." At only 5 feet tall (1.52 m), these accoutrements made her appear almost larger-than-life on screen.

Busby Berkeley is at it again. Welcome to Banana Island. Only beautiful women with big bananas and little organ grinders with monkeys live here. Carmen Miranda is the queen and sings an electrifying song about her hat. This was banned in Brazil, and for good reason. This number ran at the Club New Yorker in 1943.

Ouro Negro - Moacir Santos

Moacir Santos
Ouro Negro
Adventure Music
2004




One of the reasons I love music so much is that even after 45+ years of listening, it is a continual source of delight and surprise. No boredom here!

Over time, our listening habits change, but sometimes old friends return to visit. I hate to admit it, but over the years I've forgotten about a lot of music that at one time or another really stoked my passions.

Such is the case for me with the music of Moacir Santos . As a very young disc jockey in Boston in the 1970s, I became enchanted with the music on his LP Coisas, which is now long out of print. So out of print that I would have forgotten about him entirely. Now some 30 years later, the music of an old friend returns thanks to the vision of Adventure Music's Rich Zirinsky. According to Rich, after just a few weeks on the market, Ouro Negro (Black Gold) is garnering excellent sales worldwide. And no wonder. This all star tribute to Santos features inspired performances of Santos' original compositions, called Coisas (things).

Undertaking a large scale musical project in any genre is a risky proposition, but on this wonderful 2-CD set, twenty-eight tunes provide a two hour tapestry of foot tapping joy, courtesy of the all star production team of Mario Adnet and Ze' Nogueira. This is no easy listening project, but it is enjoyable to listen to at any volume. As background, it will soothe you, and don't be surprised if you find yourself humming tunes in your headlong after the music is off. Myself, I prefer to turn the volume up and bathe in the sweet spot, and it is here where the music shines. How could it not, with the lineup of musicians that ranks with Brazil's best, including Milton Nascimento, Joao Bosco, Gilberto Gil and Ed Motta.
