MELT-PROOF AND SCRATCH-RESISTANT

my favorite guitar solo

Posted about 1 year ago

"Manha de Carnaval" is from the 1962 Kapp label LP _The Many Voices of Miriam Makeba_, which unfortunately has never been reissued. Combining a song composed a few years earlier by the Brazilian guitarist Luis Bonfa and already becoming a warhorse, a singer from South Africa, and New York City session musicians mostly associated with Harry Belafonte: this is a case where fusion succeeded. Listen to Makeba coming in after the guitarist Ernie Calabria's solo. Simple though it may be, this my favorite guitar solo.

  1. dj ivi says i'm under the impression that - if you do not own the rights to this song, it is not okay for you to post the audio of it using mog's player. of course, if you do own the rights to this song, no problem...

  3. Spike says You are quick. It's been out of print for around forty years. I'm willing to go down in flames if it prods the owners of the rights to come to their senses. If this post endangers MOG, I would be happy to delete it.

    Thank you, Oatmeal.  This cut always sends me.  I think this was the first MOG post that had an entire track uploaded not owned by the poster, that I know of.  When David Hyman notified us that we could upload music we had made, I'm like whoa.
