For those connoisseurs of the piece, For Me -- popularized in the US by Brasil '66 -- you may be interested in hearing what may be the debute version by Edu Lobo. Recorded in 1964, on his first LP, A Musica de Edu Lobo Por Edu Lobo, the piece was originally titled Arrastao. As was the custom of the day, the lyrics were re-written for US-pop consumption. It's unknown as to what the original Portuguese content addressed. I note the Spanish word, Santa Barbara (where I was born), in the lyric; to that end, Lani sure ain't singing about THAT in Sergio's version. As usual, internet translation tools are of zero help: one translated the title word into "wrench" -- another into "bucket"...unless, of course, the lyrics describe a trip to a hardware store.
In any event, the master, Luiz Eca and his Tamba Trio are on hand for this session. A gem.
