& á - A CHUVA CAÍU (Toada), arr. Byron Fogo

A CHUVA CAÍU (Toada) - one of the few songs composed by Luiz Bonfá and Tom Jobim together. This is another piece which I’ve recorded for the 75-th birthday of my friend, a great arranger Byron Fogo. The title means THE RAIN FELL. You might enjoy this story as told by Luiz Bonfá. It took place around 1953: “Once I was fishing in Arpoador, at the time I recorded De Cigarro em Cigarro, which Nora Ney recorded, when it started to get dark. It was time for the enxova (snake mackerel) and I had no bait. That’s when I saw a very white guy, with a galhudo (dogfish) on his side, and a galhudo is the best bait in the world for enxova. I approached and started to ingratiate myself that if I took a piece of the galhudo, I could get an enxova. He was very reluctant, but I won and knife in hand took a fillet of the fish. That day it didn’t hit big. When he was about to leave, I asked his name. “I am Antonio Carlos Jobim“ he replied. “I am Bonfá.“ “You’re kidding“ - he was startled - “I heard De Cigarro em Cigarro. I thought it was wonderful.“ That’s how our friendship began, the coexistence of fishermen. The other day he recalled the case and commented that I tore his galhudo apart. Well, from this friendship was born Velhibho de Barbinha Branca and A Chuva Caíu, but later we separated in terms of composition, each one making his own way.“ Happy birthday my friend Byron! =============================== A CHUVA CAÍU (Toada) - одна з небагатьох пісень, створених разом Луїсом Бонфа та Томом Жобімом. Це ще один твір, який я записав до 75-річчя мого друга, чудового аранжувальника Байрона Фого. Назва означає «ПАДАВ ДОЩ». З днем народження, друже Байрон! #AndreyShilov #ByronFogo #TomJobim #AChuvaCaíu #LuizBonfá #Toada #BestGuitarArrangements #classicalguitar #guitar #BrazilianGuitarMusic #LatinamericanGuitarMusic #UkrainianGuitarists #GuitarVirtuosos #rare #АндрійШилов #АндрейШилов
