Samba em preludio, Samba for Two / Baden Powell and Vinícius de Moraes, Mati Kaspi and Yehudit Ravitz


Upd. Dec. 27, replaced the video that was taken down with a working one.

In continuation to my infatuation with bossa nova (as I already showed by posting Aguas de Março earlier this month), I'd like to put forth another beautiful melody out of the 1960s.


The authors are Baden Powell (named after Robert Baden Powell, the father of scouting) and Vinicius de Moraes.







Mati Kaspi and Yehudit Ravitz covered it as a part of Kaspi's 1977 "Beautiful Tropic Land" (Eretz Tropit Yafa) project, which included highly artistic renditions in Hebrew of famous Latin American songs.
