Paulinho da Viola


Carinhoso


The accompaniment to Carinhoso as played by Paulinho da Viola on the recording Meu Tempo É Hoje (2003) with vocalist Maria Monte.





This gorgeous version the Pixinguina classic came to my attention via the archived broadcast on KPFA commemorating the 110th birthday of Pixinguina. Please go to Daniella Thompson on Brazil for more information on this and the follow up broadcast one week later.

quotes
"In 1937, Braguinha wrote the lyrics to Pixinguinha’s almost forgotten 1917 choro “Carinhoso.” It was recorded by Orlando Silva and instantly became one of Brazil’s immortal standards. There is no Brazilian who can’t sing “Carinhoso” at a moment’s notice". (Daniella Thompson, The last king of carnaval is gone ; 12/24/06)

"All of Brazil mourned Pixinguina's death. At his funeral, more than two hundred thousand people attended and sang "Carinhoso," his most famous tune, as a final tribute to their beloved composer". (Carlos Barbosa-Lima, Music of the Americas - Pixinguinha; Guitar Solo Publications, GSP 50)
