Copacabana Palace - Band Originale du Film (1962)

Hello, Good Evening! Sometimes we need to be straightforward, this is the time. Mr. E., the mighty Mr. E. that sent to us Mary Goncalvez, Zeze Gonzaga among several other truly amazing contributions, sent this pearl. I would like to title this post as "All About Copacabana Palace Film", Mr. E. made a real strike, sending Copacabana Palace OST and 2 excerpts of that movie with Brazilian artists performing Bossa Nova songs. Thanks a million Mr. E. I'm sure this post will please everybody.

This is Copacabana Palace - Band Originale du Film (1962), for Festival, featuring Joao Gilberto, Os Cariocas, Norma Bengell, Miguel and Orquestra Gianni Ferrio. Self-explanatory album, the OST of Copacabana Palace movie. Mr. E. also made available some additional jewels, three songs extracted by the original film soundtrack and four other relevant songs that Mr. E. has gently picked up from other albums.

The tireless Mr. E. also makes available two excerpts of that movie, Joao Gilberto, Luiz Bonfa and Antonio Carlos Jobim performing Cancao do Mar together at the beach. We know this video is available at Loronix already, however, Mr. E. version has a much better quality and it is complete. I did not know that the previous one had some parts missing.

To end this magnificent contribution, Mr. E. pleases us with a music video featuring Os Cariocas and Joao Gilberto performing So Danco Samba. Wow! Thanks Mr. E. everybody will always remember your effort. Tracks include:

Very fine what Mr E did here for Loronixers. I tried a few days ago to record the 2 scenes from the movie DVD but had problems with the quality by the program I used.
I am happy that Mr E made it better-
Wow this single to see here is really great-
Thanks a lot Mr E.

Best wishes

Never mind the music and the videos. Who's the gal on the Lp cover?????????????????????

Joe Carter, probably she is Mylène Demongeot (on the LP cover.)

The girl in the album cover is Mylene Demongeot, the French star of the film (that was an Italy-France-Brazil co-production).

The girls that appear in the clip with Bonfa, Joao and Jobim are Sylva Koscina (a very known european star in the sixties), Gloria Paul and Laura Brown.

But its funny to see how the people dance the samba in the other clip. Some of them seem to be dancing a twist or something else...

Todos os principais ritmos latinos - tango, bolero, salsa, bossa nova etc. - tiveram seu momento de internacionalização. Menos o samba. Gringo não consegue tocar e nem dançar samba. Não faço idéia por quê. Um dos momentos tristes da humanidade é gringo dançando samba. Por algum motivo estranho, os caras balançam sempre pro lado errado.

O DVD do Copacabana Palace saiu na Itália, pela Surf Video (PSV6838), mas tem um problema: está no sistema europeu PAL e precisa ser decodificado para poder ser visto no player.

Thanks to include this disc. He did not know it and I am very fan of JOBIM & GILBERTO. Greetings and congratulations from Argentina

The translation I did it to traves of BABEL FISH, pardon by grammar errors.

Tão raras são as apresentações públicas de João Gilberto no inicio de sua carreira musical, que este video torna-se uma preciosidade, algo de valor incomensuravel. O que causa admiração é ver João fazendo ponta em um filme de chanchada no anos 60, coisa que nos dias de hoje é algo impensável.
Um grande Abraço a todos Bossanovistas do planeta.
