Theme from Black Orpheus by Luiz Bonfa

Here’s my version of this beautiful movie soundtrack by Luiz Bonfa. It has been performed by many artists; nonetheless I took a challenge to create my version for two guitars in the key of Em.

Tomasz, I do not know the piece, though your version was enjoyed. Thank you for sharing.
The two guitars sound good together. Well done.

Oh man, that brings me back to the 60’s when I first heard this on a mono “LP” of Vince Guaraldi.

Just love your interpretation-- very well done!

Thank you for listening, Byron, I do appreciate your comment. Actually the piece is part of the soundtrack from the movie Black Orpheus; the song itself has a different name in Portuguese. It has been performed by numerous artists, among others the three greats: Paco de Lucia, John McLaughlin, Al diMeola. I can see clearly it’s not very popular, or even known among this community :wink:

I thought I had heard it before, it was during the time I was taking in some of Al DiMeola’s stuff - it’s a beautiful piece and you played it very well, I must find how the other two artists performed it now :joy:
