An interesting opening in this song by blending Latin style and 'Basia-Nova'.""""" Speaking of bossa nova did you guys know that a very famous Brazilians birthday is this week. Luis Bonfa. He would have been 80. He and a fellow named Tom Jobim basically launched the "wave" from a 1959 movie by the name "Black Orpheus" The movie was a huge hit at the Cannes film festival and later won an Oscar. Three years later bossa nova took over. The movie is based on an old fable which I cannot recall right now and is filmed on the mountains that skirt the city of Rio, but I think a lot of you out there would really enjoy this movie. I'd bet Basia has seen it few times. So, Happy Birthday Luis and you all go to Block Buster. ------------------------------ End of basia-digest V7 #109 ***************************
