• A virtuoso, subtle and passionate musician, guitarist, singer and composer Luiz Bonf (1922-2001) is one of the main architects of bossa nova and one of the greatest masters of twentieth-century Brazilian popular music. As a composer and performer, Bonf was above all a representative of the bold, lyrical, richly orchestrated and emotionally charged samba-cano style that preceded the arrival of Joo Gilberto’s more refined and discreet bossa nova style. This is one of his greatest albums, Plays and Sings Bossa Nova, on which he collaborated with stars such as Leo Wright, Oscar Castro-Neves and Lalo Schifrin. This superb edition includes Bonf’s classic version of his song Manh de Carnaval (aka Black Orpheus), among many other tracks.
