About "Samba de Orfeu" by Toots Thielemans
Toots Thielemans transforms 'Samba de Orfeu' into a tender, harmonica-led conversation. The Brasil Project Vol. II setting frames his lyrical phrasing with soft Brazilian rhythms, evoking a bittersweet carnival—joyful steps shadowed by the mythic sadness of Orpheus himself.
