Paulinho da Viola & Maria Bethânia - Tudo é Ilusão/Minhas Madrugadas/Pecadora


As it's a Saturday I thought I'd post a video of how I'd like to spend my weekends: on a beach in Brazil, drinking ice cold beer and listening to good music. This is taken from a French documentary called 'Saravah' (1969, more clips on YouTube) and shows master sambista Paulinho reminiscing with singer Maria Bethânia, who is also Caetano Veloso's sister. It's so brilliant having a video showing them in such a relaxed setting, and looking so young! Paulinho sounds amazing, particularly in the 3rd song. If only there was a beach in South London...
