Aquarela Do Brasil

A musician of virtuosity, subtlety, and passion, guitarist, singer and composer Luiz Bonfá (1922-2001) ranks among the key architects of the bossa nova sound and the greatest masters of Brazilian popular music of the 20th century. Presented here are two of his greatest albums, Plays and Sings Bossa Nova (Verve V6-8522), on which he collaborates with such stars as Leo Wright, Oscar Castro-Neves and Lalo Schifrin, and The Gentle Rain (Mercury SR-61016), a movie soundtrack composed solely by Bonfá, on which he is backed by an orchestra arranged and conducted by the great Eumir Deodato. This superb release includes Bonfás classic version of his tune Manhá de Carnaval (aka Black Orpheus) among its many highlights.
