@brasjazz Thank you very much!

[CONCHYA]

Amazing how wonderful life became after Sergio Mendez came to America. He introduced me to music so fine, so swinging, so perfectly played and always with beautiful women who seem to just flow with it. Wanda Sa was the very best of those women! Thank you for this music! I really enjoy your version...

[gnukev]

@CONCHYA Thanks for your kind words and for noticing that our version is based on the Sergio Mendes version. It affected me since my childhood in the 60's. I feel what you are saying. I just saw the animated movie "Rio" for which SM did much of the music. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[MorrisAtGuitar]

Three years ago I watched this video, and thought "Hey that's really great, I wonder if I can do that too". So I got much better with my guitar, I learned portuguese pronunciation and today I'm happily playing and singing bossa nova. I didn't upload any videos yet, but they are soon to come.

So Kevin, I wanted to write in to thank you so much: these wonderful videos showed me the way at a moment I was stuck and - as a self-taught - didn't know what to do with my guitar.

Thank you

Filippo

[gnukev]

@MorrisAtGuitar Thanks very much! I'm really glad that our videos have encouraged you. I'm really moved by your comments! Grazie!

You hafta be a Maestro Jobim Fanatico to come up with this arrangement.

And what an ending ... your voices woven like that --- It's like discovering a new hybrid of Orchid ... beautiful understanding of the Music!

-Julian

[gnukev]

@enty404 Thank you very much!

[poulalas]

Bravo!!!

[BusterBroonie]

I totally love this. your voices work so well together, and you look like you are having so much fun, that makes it even more special.. Please let us know if you ever do a studio - type recording of this song, one of my all-time favourite Samba songs.

[gnukev]

@BusterBroonie Thanks very much for your kind words. We will let you know but these days we're really enjoying the simplicity of playing spontaneously in front of a little camera without the time-consuming and tedious set-up required to do a "professional" performance or studio recording.

[BusterBroonie]

@gnukev - I totally appreciate that. I wish you both peace, love and happiness.

[RavenBlade234]

You guys are awesome! The harmonies are amazing!

Great job!

[gnukev]

@RavenBlade234 Thanks for noticing the harmonies even though we should re-record this for a better balance between the voices.

[Sinatra70]

[newporter42]

What a great vocal duo you make. The guitar work is so smooth, too.

The coolest thing to me is how you use rests and the intake of breath as rhythmic devices.

[gnukev]

Thanks for your thoughtful comments!

[fredcalife]

Wonderful

[HunterMann]

I probably have 30 versions of this in my vinyl collection, but have never heard such a wonderful arrangement for vocal duet. Bravo! I once sang this with Warmth at the old Cooper House. We now have some Santa Cruz art cars in Arizona! ArtCarWorld dot org

[gnukev]

Thank you very much for your kind words!

[HunterMann]

I mentioned your video to the bossa trio that played last night at Cafe Roka in Bisbee, AZ and they had seen it and commented as well on the good arranging. Have a wonderful new year, HM

[bossatonin]

"oh nearly nothing" ... wonderfull, I love !!!

[gnukev]

Thanks. It's actually, "...OR nearly nothing".

[bossatonin]

yes i remembered it too late, just after clicking (no edit possible)... also, it's the same meaning in portuguese : "OU quase nada" ;-)
