Dear friends, today was a good day for music, because I have recorded two new songs
The first one is "O barquinho" (Little boat) and is dedicated to my friend Chico, because I know that he likes this one a lot. The arrangement has a little surprise
The second song is "Triste", which both in portuguese and italian means "Sad", and is dedicated very simply to all those who love this kind of music.
Both songs were recorded with the 9000 pro and the same style, but with different tempos and different arrangements.
Hope you will enjoy.

Andrea: Another Brasilian success (as predicted of course). Your emotional sensitively shines, especially on Triste. I don't know the Portuguese lyrics to 'My Little Boat', but I sing the english version, and feel that, in addition to great (chord)changes & melody, its's lyrics beg to be sung as well - Scott

My Little Boat (O Barquinho),
composed by Roberto Menescal

My little boat
Is like a note
Bouncing merrily along
Hear it splashing up a song

The sails are white
The Sky is bright
Heading out into the blue
With a crew of only two

Where we can share
Love's salty air
On a little paradise that's afloat
Not a care have we in my little boat

The wind is still
We feel a thrill
Of a voyage heaven bound
Though we only drift around

Warmed by the sun
Two hearts as one
Beating with enchanted bliss
Melting in each other's kiss

When daylight ends
And sly-ly sends
Little stars to twinkle brightly above
It's goodbye to my little boat of love

Andrea,
Two great renditions of my favorite style of music. Your interpretations and technical abilities at this style makes me jealous. Bravo!

Andrea:
Buenisimo! one better than the other. I have nothing to add, except both songs are superbly executed. You sure had a productive day!
I'll be waitng for "the album" very soon.
Best regards.
Mario

Andrea,

Nice job on both tunes. Your articlulation playing the Nylon guitar is superb also.

Thanx for sharing

Olá Andrea,

You are a Bossa Nova Man.

Great job with the 9000pro guitar.

Um grande abraço brasileiro,

Armando

Hummmmm...

I am going to watch a Andrea's Concert SOLO!
Great performances, amigo.

Now,serious:
I will play "O barquinho" on A major key and you will can help me with some obligatos, ok?
Chico

Scott, Terry, Mario, Donny, Armando, just one word: THANKS!

Chico, I am at your disposal; these days I am really finding out the brazilian side of my soul: maybe I will stay in Brazil forever. Just in case, can you help me finding a full time job as a musician?

Andrea..... in Brazil you will be the perfect "Carioca!!" enjoying the life and playing the music you love :>)

Andrea

Are you going to abandon the medicine and to become to a full time kbdist?
My God, another competitor...

Just a tip:

Andrea, try to listen all the songs of your HP.
What are better ?
The first sequenced songs, with multi effects,and magic plugins or the last songs,live performance without complicated accessories?
You found the way : cleanness
Chico

Andrea....

IN case you didnt know what I meant by "Carioca" in my previous post above....

[Here is a bit of that Brazilian's definition of "Carioca":
According to linguists, the term Carioca, as locals call themselves, is not derived from the word Rio, as in carioca. It is actually a Tupi Indian term (kara'i oca), roughly meaning "white house", or "house of whites" (see history ). That's how they called the houses built by the Portuguese. For some reason, eventually the Portuguese started thinking of themselves as Cariocas.

You don't have to be born in Rio to be a Carioca. All you have to do is relax into the city lifestyle, and soon you will become one. There are some basics you should learn first, though, if you want to make friends with locals, that is... ]

Well said.
Carioca is just a relaaax lifestyle.

Chico

Chico,


Yes, a lifestyle I wish I was living right now on Ipanema, or Flemenco beach...
eating some Brazilian BBQ and Sipping a few Caipirinhas !!!!

Donny,
I have started to study portuguese already and I am reading all I can about Brazil and Belo Horizonte in particular. I think that I will soon become a fan of Atletico Mineiro (local soccer team).
P.S.: Belo Horizonte lies at 850 m above sea level (about 2500 feet), so the climate is not too hot even in summer (unlike Rio, where temperatures in summer are around 35-40 C or 95-104 F).
Today's temperature in BH at 2 am: 19° C (66° F).

Caro amico,

Your soul is already Brazilian, but don't go playing "Arrivederci Roma" in bossa nova style.

Ciao,

Armando

Armando, you have just given me an idea...
