This is the song today:"Carinhoso" written by Pixinguinha and João de BarrosConsidered one of the most important Brazilian songs of all time, "Carinhoso" was written by flutist/saxophonist Pixinguinha in 1917 as an instrumental piece. However, it was not until the 1930s, with added lyrics by João de Barros and a vocal performance by Orlando Silva, that it achieved its acclaim. A perfect combination between musical structure and poetic narrative, "Carinhoso" is the most recorded Brazilian song according to ECAD, with iconic performances from Elizeth Cardoso, Baden Powell, Tom Jobim, Hermeto Pascoal, and more. We told the story behind the lyrics, different arrangements, the ahead-of-time structure, and Pixinguinha, who eventually became one of the most revered music composers from Brazil.
