I love this song. This happy song makes me feel good inside. Lani sounds fantastic--as good as in her Brasil 66 days. I got the song's album "A Brazileira" in 2017 via Discogs. It was a long wait, but after several months it arrived as a Brazilian import. The album is a good as this song.
A few words about the song's composer, Dorival Caymmi. He and Ary Barroso (composer of "Brazil" and "Bahia") were Brazil's preeminent popular composers before the arrival of Bossa Nova. Dorival may be best known in the USA for his beautiful composition of "And Roses and Roses of Love." His children--Dori, Nana, and Danilo-- were extremely musically gifted as well.
