O SAMBA: visual poem

Poema originariamente publicado no booklet SISIFUS & SUAS ROLLING STONES (1995).
Em 2000, foi reformatado e re-escrito para ser musicado por Moraes Moreira e gravado no CD 500 Sambas.
A versão que está no soundtrack desta versão, foi re-escrita e montada pelo autor a partir de um sampler da música O Vento te Levou, gravada por Taryn Szpilmann; e integrou o CD-Book Drums'n'Poetry (2007), realizado com o produtor Geraldo d'Arbilly.
As imagens foram baixadas pelo eMule e pertencem ao documentário "Spirit Moves" by Mura Den, filmado no Savoy Ballroom, em 1951.
Portanto, na realidade, os afro-americanos em cena estão dançando jazz e foram submetidos pelo montador Maurício Antoun a efeitos de montagem (controle de velocidade rebaixado em slow-motion) para entrarem na cadência do samba, em poema-visual criado para o DVD-Booklet PSYCHO POP 1.0 (2008).

I also have "When the Spirit Moves" documentary however these dancers are doing swingouts which is a Lindy Hop move. Some of the footwork though is very Mambo like though. So I'd say you have Lindy Hoppers dancing to Mambo music. I know one old timer from the Savoy Ballroom that actually danced both dances in the Savoy. I know that Tito Puente played in the Savoy in the 1950's.

No it is not Lindy Hop it is Mambo as danced in the Savoy Ballroom in 1951, from Mura Dehn's documentary "The Spirit Moves."

The dancing footage in this video is Lindy Hop not Samba. (Except for the footage of Brazil at the very end) Great song though.

You're right! Do you know this original film? By normal lenght, they were dancin' swing / be-bop! The great cur-up remix were done using remote slow motion ... and the same afro-americans dances ...samba! ... looks like! Let me know: the beat I'd use as soundtrack is caller Lindy Hop? Could you send me some klinks to listen others? Anyway: thanks for comments

No worry at all! It is one of my favorite documentaries, and the various lindy hop and mambo clips in it are just awesome.
