I've been promising (threatening?) to upload one of the songs we're recording, and finally, here it is.
One of my favorite songs is the theme from the 1959 movie "Black Orpheus." The song has two different sets of lyrics. I prefer this much happier version, about Carnivale and its promise of excitement, romance and guitar-playing so beautiful it makes the sun rise. The other version, called "A Day in the Life of a Fool," is better known but somewhat depressing.
My accompanists are the Capt and our friend Daniel Perez Aguilar. Photos are from the Mazatlan Carnivale parade, 2008.
