Manha De Carnival - Guitar Duo

Want to hear real guitar musicianship? My friend and I have practiced this song for a year to prepare for a big jazz concert called SOUNDS. This song is called Manha De Carnival (or Black Orpheus) and it was originally played by Al Dimeola and John Mclaughlin on their CD The Guitar Trio. Their version is around 6:14; ours had to be cut to 5 minutes. It was our first performance as the "Guitar Duo"

Uhhh, yeah we tried that. I'm not so good with alternate finger picking on the same string... But it's a song that's always fun to jam on!

DiMeola would have still been in diapers when this tune was first recorded. This tune was a part of the score written by Antonio Carlos Jobim for the 1956 Brazilian play "Orfeu da Conceição", recorded by Jobim in 1957, and included in the score of the 1958 film "Black Orpheus." The first recording of it for the American audience was the Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd "Jazz Samba" album, the introduction of Bossa Nova to the U.S., about the time young DiMeola would have been in kindergarten.

wow that is really informative. i will look into that. history about music is always interesting

[bassfrk402]

Ok I was exaggerating. The idea started a year ago. We broke off in between. So technically we practiced a good month for it.
