Pelo Telefone ~ 1952

This extract is from the film "Ena votsalo sti limni" (A pebble to the lake), directed by Alekos Sakellarios, with the famous Greek comedian, Vassilis Logothetides. It was filmed in 1952 in Egypt (Cairo or Alexandria) some years before the governing of A. G. Nasser, when many Greeks were still living in Egypt.
In this extract the protagonists of the film are dancing to a well-known tune of these times, when Latin rhythms had just conquered the post-war Europe...
The musical piece is called "Pelo Telefone" and is said to be the first Brazilian samba recorded. It is composed by Donga and Mauro de Almeida.

Only to correct. It was not the first samba to be composed, but the first to be recorded.
