Mystery Bossa ?

AndyW

the three Roma gypsy guys at the hot club jam this week were playing a rather beautiful gypsy bossa, but they couldn't tell us the name of it. In E minor, it had a melody line that (partly) seemed to descend in semitones from the E note.
it wasn't any of the 'usual" gypsy bossas (Dorado, Sephora, Blue bossa etc) and wasn't anything I recognised from many years playing gypsy jazz and listening to the brasilian / jazz/bossa nova/ samba repertoire. Anyone got any idea what it might have been ?? all guesses welcome , particularly with a sound or youtube link

Not a fekkin clue but it was good.

It *might* have been a version of "o barquinho",
but played with eight times the usual amount of cannabis....

You guys have too much fun over there.
I wonder what if Jerry Garcia and Django met... would Dark eyes drop to 80bpm or would Nuages spike to 240bpm?

Buco it may sound like fun but it's actually very hard work, lol.
