with. He is widely regarded as the James Brown of Brazilian music and is
famed for writing the Brazilian anthem ‘Mas Que Nada'. For the duet
‘Carolina, Carol Bela' he teamed up with the singer and guitarist Toquinho.
Toquinho is best known for his collaborations, as composer and performer,
with bossa nova poet Vinicius de Moraes.
'Carolina, Carol Bela' featured on the album Toquinho by Toquinho. It was
originally released in 1970 on the small independent Brazilian label, RGE.
The song was sampled by DJ Marky and XRS for their Drum & Bass track
‘LK’ (V Recordings, 2002). This went on to be a huge chart hit across the
world, and a number one hit in the UK.
João Donato is a Brazilian jazz and bossa nova pianist. He has collaborated
with many of the greats of Brazilian Music, including Tom Jobim, Astrud
Gilberto and Gilberto Gil. He was one of the few Brazilian artists who went
over to perform in the States during the bossa nova boom of the late 60’s.
The song ‘A Rã’ was originally released on his seminal album Quem é
quem, (EMI, 1973), an album that is full of great tracks and was considered
as one of the 100 best albums of all time by the Rolling Stone
magazine.
