Hello! I'm a musician from brazil! your voice is wonderful. you sing so cute in portuguese. nice to hear you. i have a suggestion for you: hear the song "O vento" from the brazilian band LOS HERMANOS. u"ll gonna like it
Beautiful :) Your singing and your banjo arrangement are marvelous :) I would only make the opening softer with your sung melodies before "ela e carioca". Much like the Fonseca version :)
Mercedez, what a wonderful voice you have. It's incredible that a girl from USA can sing like this. When will you record a cd??? I want to buy it inmediatly!!! Please...
Mercedez, I can hear your whole heart smile aloud when you sing! Wonderful, beautiful voice and face. Keep on playing and singing. Your music is awesome.
Lovely! It's great to hear you singing. And with a perfect portuguese. I've just posted a video with my band playing this song. Would you like to jam with us someday? =) Really cool banjo!
Uau! Lindo! Lindo! Que demais! Congratulations! I am from Rio but I live in Switzerlad, and I play also bossa nova, take a look in my profile. thanks! by the way, Are you Carioca? I think you are!
Olá, sou brasileira, parabéns pela música, gostei muito ^^ E você cantou muito bem. Até águas de março você conseguiu =O é muito difícil essa música. ^^ Alguma vez você já veio ao Brasil?
Another youtube gem from Mercedes. Thank you for clearing up the meaning of Carioca. Although I have always liked the song (along with 90% of everything else Jobim wrote), I have never understood it because I thought Carioca meant Cigar. I don't know where I got that from. Anyway, good job.
Well. Banjo is not a usual in bossa nova, but you are doing a great job with it. You Should visit Brasil if you have some opportunity. You will have a funy time here plaing around. Keep going.
Estou lendo os comentarios,, e nao consegui chegar uma conlcusao vc e brasileira nao e??? or are you from brazil???? i think that you are!!! you brilhant
now if you started reading this dont stop its really scarey!ok send this to five other videos in 143 minutes.When you are done press F6 and your crushes name will apear on the screen in big letters this is weird because it does work.If you break this chance you wont have a crush in the next five years
oh my god i have to meet you. i am a bossa nova musician and competitive ballroom dancer. my two greatest loves. you're singing is excellent...a mixture of elis regina and paula morelenbaum, just gorgeous. and the banjo...wow! i'll try to start posting some bossa nova on my guitar and voice. i also play with a 5-piece bossa band and there's one clip on there.
Very nice, Mercedes. I was wondering if you thought of doing Meditation. I can hear your voice and chords gliding over that on in my mind's eye. Just love that bossa!!
Hi Mercedezz, until I saw your videos I didn't know that something like this exist on this planet. You play in such a way original chords & positions and besides you sing with so much feeling, that's really cool! I'll send all your videos as a link to all the Top Jazzbanjo players in my country The Netherlands. Looking forward to your next video. greetings www.jaspervanpelt
Where are you from? I' m from sp, Brazil and play americana and celtic on the banjo- funny how music identification may happen both ways round...
