— BROOKLYN BOSSA NOVA PROJECT presents —
Eu Quero um Samba by Haroldo Barbosa / Janet De Almeida
(como a interpretação do mestre João Gilberto)

Featuring Benny Oyama with Itai Kriss
Filmed and Recorded at Daruma House Studios in sunny Brooklyn, New York!

Itai Kriss (Telavana/Los Hacheros) joins Benny Oyama to remember a playful Samba tune called "I Want a Samba" (made just for me).

— WHAT IS BROOKLYN BOSSA NOVA PROJECT? —
BROOKLYN BOSSA NOVA PROJECT is an exploration in the early roots of Bossa Nova music from Brazil, a style that took the world by storm in the 1950's and 1960's. We feature great artists from New York and around the world in our recreation of the rhythm and melodies that define the beautiful creations from this time and place.

lyrics

Eu quero um samba feito só pra mim
Me acabar, me virar, me espalhar
Eu quero a melodia feita assim
Quero sambar, quero sambar
Quero sambar por que no samba eu sei que vou

Me acabar, me virar, me espalhar
A noite inteira até o Sol raiar
Ah quando o samba acaba
Eu fico triste então
Vai melancolia
Eu quero alegria dentro do meu coração
