Can any kind person on Synthzone supply me with the dots to a tune called "Carioci"if that is how its spelt, it has a Salsa or Samba rythm style, and I heard it on one of Greg Towle's recordings that I downloaded.Thanks Derek

Hi Derek,

Do you mean Carioca? If so I have it and if someone else doesn't beat me to it, I will sort it out for you when I have a little more time.

Len

Check your mail Derek. Have fun!

Audrey

AUDREY.....

Will you please email a copy to me as well?
Love that latin rhythm!
Thanks,
ELIZABETH

Len Audrey Turner has beaten you to it, but thanks anyway. Derek

Hello all,

I do not have the music for this great Latin song--(apparently others do, however, and have sent it on to the interested parties)--but I thought you might like to share the lyrics. So, here they are, as accurately as I can rememeber them. Enjoy!

The Carioca

Words by Gus Kahn, music by Vincent Youmans and Edward Eliscu.
Academy Award-winning song from the 1933 RKO movie "Flying Down To Rio"
(the first screen pairing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers).
As recorded in New York, April 27, 1934, by New Orleans-born vocalist
Connie Boswell (1907-1976) with Victor Young & his Orchestra.

Say, have you seen a Carioca?
It's not a foxtrot or a polka
It has a little bit of new rhythm, a blue rhythm that sighs

It has a meter that is tricky
A bit of wicked wacky-wicky
But when you dance it with a new love, there's a true love in her eye

You dream of a new Carioca
Its theme is a kiss and a sigh
You dream of a new Carioca
When music and lights are gone we say goodbye

Two heads together, they say are better than one
Two heads together, that's how the dance is begun
Two arms around you and lips, that's why I'm yours and you are mine
And you are mine

Now that you've done the Carioca
You'll never care to do the Polka
And then you'll realize the blue hula and bamboola are through

Tomorrow morning you'll discover
You're just a Carioca lover
And when you dance it with each new love, there'll be true love just for you

Now you'll dream of a new Carioca
Its theme is a kiss and a sigh
You'll dream of a new Carioca
When music and lights are gone and we're saying goodbye
Goodbye

Hello friends,

As "lover of Brazil" (see my photo album on www.vision-4-life.nl) I would like to receive sheet music (standard format or leadsheet) of this song and other Bossa or Samba songs.

On my site on the Hobbies an Interest page I have streaming audio and there is a song "Insensatez" in the list. Have fun listening.

Regards, Fred

P.S. In january 2009 we will go back to Brazil for second time. This time to visit our sponsor children there.

Thanks to the dots of Audrey, my version is on my site as mp3:

The recording is real-time and draft and can be found in the mp3-player list of the Tyros-series.

Bass seems a little too loud, but otherwise very nicely done ...
