Adam Rafferty - Aqu@rela do Brasil - Solo Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar

Here is a classic tune commonly called “Brasil“ but actually called “Aquarela do Brasil“. Written by Ary Barroso. I listened here on Youtube to many great versions - first and foremost, I watched the Donald Duck version :-) Gal Costa’s 70’s sounding version, Joao Gilberto singing solo and playing guitar, and a more modern production by Daniela Mercury. All were different and took many liberties. To my Brazilian brothers and sisters - this is a NY guy trying this, sorry if it’s not 100% authentic :-)
