[susana2deesparza]

Fabulosos.

[thedarkwarriorfdeath]

[Darius50]

WOW! such beautiful melody.

[revedmusic]

I've heard Bonfa play it a dozen different ways but this arrangement is the best. and Caterina Valente just makes it perfect. Thank you for posting this.

[Albyusthegray]

SIMPLY GREAT!

[hardcorechicano]

[aerofredywr]

Superb!

[ilikerashers]

fantastic, anyone hear the last bit of the vocals sounding very similar to a certain Led Zepplin song?

[WA5CVI]

He was a wonderful guitarist. It is a wonderful gift that he has given to the world: his music. He was in many ways a creative genius...and after all, isn't that what we all want in our lives?...to be creative?

[tdal007]

Amen

[Andre1214]

[mickerin64]

Does she not remind you a little of Audrey Hepburn in this clip? Haven't heard her n years until my daughter introduced m to youtube last week. Thanks for putting this up. mcerin64

[revedmusic]

@mickerin64 When I first saw this, the first thing I thought was she looks very very much like a young Audrey Hepbun. You can't escape it, This is a wonderful and rare video, wonderful its on YT.

[frankipoux]

Just beautiful. I love the violons section with the with the percussion behind...very nice. No more music like that today...and probably not for the next generation too.

[makrinho46]

Las primeras bases del bossa, que genial.......desde Temuco Chile....Voltaire

[nochemusical]

Se cumplen hoy 50 años del estreno de la obra de teatro "Orfeo da Conceição" de Vinicius y Tom Jobim, con escenografía del gran arquitecto Oscar Niemeyer e interpretación aquella vez de Luis Bonfá, todo esto en el Teatro Municipal de Rio de Janeiro. Emocionante...

Jorge-Argentina

[xMyPeanutx]

Her voice so is nice.. I wish that there was more she could say than "doo doo"

[JAVI09FG]

bella, bellisima aterina

[momentofserenity]

The music is so so serene. Makes me wanna fly in the air.

Thanks for sharing.

[xMyPeanutx]

[PutOnASweater]

God how I love that woman....I believe she recorded this song in English...and I have not heard it in years...cannot find it anywhere...She has a fantastic CD in Italian...I've ruined 2 CDs of it so far...she had a HUGE hit in the US with Granada in 1954...she is still beautiful....sigh!

[zulbere]

[juanochin]

And to think that nowadays this song is still played by so many musicians... if I'd be Bonfa, I'd be very pleased :)

What an amazing duet for a beautiful song.

[seamothboy]

how bloomin fantastic

[bossanovarules]

Wonderful Bossa Nova music. Caterina and Luiz perform brilliantly together. It's so beautiful, that it makes me cry. I wish Bossa Nova music would make a comeback.

[toninha7]

You speak out of my heart!! I absolutely feel the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maravilhoso

[bossanova63]

Bossa Nova need not make a comeback. It has flourished since its birth. We who love bossa nova shall keep the flame bright eternally. It's like Kaiser Permanente.....it will "thrive". !!!

[subtlegarden]

The more I listen this song, the more I like it! I saw Black Orpheus with Harry Belafonte way back and could never forget the beautiful song.

[drcm1973]

Harry Belafonte was not in the multi-awarded 1959 movie "Black Orpheus". Based on the play "Orfeu da Conceição" by Vinicius de Moraes, adaptation of the tragic Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice and setting in the modern Rio during the Carnaval. Two songs of the haunting soundtrack became classics of the Bossa Nova (the new musical movement was in in its dawn at the time) : Luiz Bonfá's perennial "Manhã de Carnaval" & "A felicidade" by Antonio Carlos Jobim/Vinicius de Moraes.

[doaldocm1]

Apparently you get confused since "Black Orpheus" has its similarities to the Dorothy Dandridge-Harry Belafonte 1954 musical "Carmen Jones" by director Otto Preminger's that, via Oscar Hammerstein, moved Bizet's opera to the Korean War era. Nevertheless, Harry Belafonte recorded the well known "Manhã de Carnaval" in his CD "Folk Songs from the World" back in 1997.

[bossaman58]

I never knew HArry was in a play of the same name. But Elizeth Cardoso sang the song while Marpessa Dawn (Eurydice) lipped it and Breno Mello didn't play the guitar (Orpheus)...sadly, all four are gone now. :-)

[odysseetheater]

WOW!! qualität hält für immer und immer und immer und ewig ... eva

[10aaa]

The song "Manha De Carnaval" (Day of Carnaval), was composed by Luiz Bonfa, lyrics by Antonio Maria. It is known today as "A Day In The Life Of A Fool", courtesy of Carl Sigman's awful English lyrics...

I love Caterina and Luiz! This is a meeting of two great talents.

[WithLoveFromCologne]

Que lindo!

[romanyman]

This is wonderful ,Bonfa was /is a all time great but Valente could possibly the greatest female singer of them all ! She was /is so talented .Would love someone to post her stuff with the Edmundo Ros band ,in my opinion it was one of the best things both she and Ros ever did!

[kodinkuku]

The master at work.

[beethoven000999]

Superbe. This melody sounded familiar. Because is was A Day in the Life of a Fool from the great Nana Mouskouri (but I remember an other cover in France, wih hummings on this music, maybe Marie Laforêt or Françoise Hardy, unfortunately my memory is not in good shape and I did not find the title, which I hate... lol).

[BboyFranki3]

the original score was composed by a Brazilian and featured in Black Orpheus in '59.

It is my favorite Bossa Nova.

[agnostyx]

My God! How beautiful!

[gdepetrov]

Beautiful voice and playing!

[bertskoi]

WOW!

I already loved Caterina but I never saw this performance before, thank you very much for posting it!

[RetroArcaicoRex]

preciosidad <3

..lega al alma

[gotsymustopha]

Absolutely beautiful

[wagnerdfguitar]

Maravilha!!!

[subtlegarden]

Beautiful Orfeo!!!

I have a record by Caterina Valente, titled: Du bist Musik but I can't find this version here. Anyone can give me a hint??? Thanks

[hhm53]

Caterina Valente Du bist nicht vergessen.

Mach doch mal was mit der Gitarre - vielleicht ganz verrückt mit einem Liedermacher Reinhard Mey, Hannes Wader oder Andre Heller - vielleichteine interessante Konstellation

[batm42]

heromosisimo duo,y que cancion!!,una de mis preferidas de todos los tiempos , me emociona mucho oirla

[jim30bell]

Beautiful. Talented. Sang in German, French, Italian, Spanish, and English (and I may have left some out). And very, very, popular. Five stars from me!

[homoguytom]

you did...portuguese, in which this song was sung.

[mettanc]

fantastic

[aurelh78]

so great, makes me feel so nostalgic, even if I wasn't born at the time it was shot.

[map35]

When and were was this program?

[saskabush2006]

In reply to map35, this was most likely The Hollywood Palace, an American variety series she co-hosted in 1964-65. It's also possible it might have been from a TV special, too.

[GFlaubert]

magnefiek!

[dirkandi]

Einfach nur brilliant!!!!

[stefantavit]

just wonderful

[stefantavit]

one of the best singers in the world

[swingbossa]

Didn't realize Caterina played violao as well. Their voices complement each other very nicely. Great duet!

[DRSA5702]

que lindo...sooo wonderful!

[SmartMusician]

Bravo! Simply wonderful!

[jaime52]

La bellísima voz de Caterina, su extraordinaria virtud de tocar la guitarra, la melodía fabulosa de un enorme compositor y la historia de un Orfeo negro es insuperable... Mi corazón está con este momento

[exitthegame]

this is going straight to my favourites :D absolutley awesome

[07031946]

Superbe duo, magnifique. La voix de Caterina et Bonfa à la guitare le sommet.
