Ary Barroso (1903-1964) was the most influential pre-bossa nova composer in Brazil. Barrosos songs were recorded by a lengthy list of artists including Carmen Miranda and João Gilberto. His 1939 composition Aquarela do Brasil, better known as Brazil, was featured in the 1942 Disney film Saludos Amigos, and has gone on to become one of the 20 most recorded songs of all time. His song Na Baixa do Sapateiro, based on a Brazilian pop tune, was included in the Disney film The Three Caballeros and popularized as Baía. He was such a fan of Rio de Janeiros Clube de Regatas do Flamengo soccer club that he turned down an invitation to move to the United States at the peak of his fame in the 40s. Apparently, he didnt want to be so far from the team. This release compiles two long unavailable albums from his final years: Meu Brasil brasileiro (Odeon MOFB-3023), a 1959 LP on which he re-recorded some of his biggest hits from the 1930s and the 1940s in Hi-Fidelity, and Um interpreta o outro (Odeon MOFB-3038), an album on which he plays songs by the great Brazilian singer/songwriter Dorival Caymmi (1914-2008) on piano, while Caymmi himself sings Barrosos compositions. The first album appears here on CD for the first time ever!
