Henri Salvador - Dans mon île (Extraite du film “Europa di notte“, 1959)

“Dans mon île“ (Maurice Pon - Henri Salvador) chanson extraite du film “Europa di notte“ qui inspira la Bossa Nova A brief but spectacular performance by Henri Salvador and a flock of exotic birds, taken from the 1959 French-Italian documentary “Europa di Notte“ (“European Nights“). I’ve extracted this from a longer clip that the musical number is rather awkwardly nested in. An intensely romantic (and unabashedly androcentric) fantasy number with some spectacularly lovely women. Allegedly, Salvador’s song helped spark the Bossa Nova movement, through its influence upon Antonio Carlos Jobim.
