BONUS EP. (Wilson Simonal - "País Tropical")

from Brazuca Sounds · host Leandro Vignoli

Salve! This is a bonus episode for paid subscribers! Every episode is a different song: "País Tropical" by Wilson Simonal (written by Jorge Ben) from 1969 Jorge Ben wrote this song for Gal Costa but Simonal after seeing her performing the song live asked his friend Ben for the scoop. Simonal then not only recorded "País Tropical" first, but his version became an instant hit. Combining elements of Latin jazz, samba, and soul, staccato brass arrangements, and the unmistakable voice of Wilson Simonal, is one the most popular Brazilian songs ever produced.
