You can publish "Rancho das Flores", with my lyrics and music taken from the cantata "Jesus, Joy of Man's Desiring", by Joao Sebastiao Bach. São Paulo, May 2, 1961. Vinícius – Moraes
In the late 1950s, Vinícius de Moraes (1913 - 1980) composed two songs for the film Black Orpheus, by French director Marcel Camus, which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Oscar for best foreign film. His diplomatic career continued in Uruguay, where he stayed for 3 years. In Brazil, Bossa Nova, one of the main movements in Brazilian music, began.
In the early 1960s, the poet's songs continued to be recorded by many artists, but Vinícius de Moraes decided to record his voice for the first time on an album with Tom Jobim. At the same time, the poet met two other talented musicians, Carlos Lyra and Baden Powell, with whom he lived, drank and composed for three months, producing one of the most important works of Brazilian popular music, the LP Os Afro-Sambas, recorded in 1966. This document deals precisely with this encounter; the song "Rancho das Flores" is one of the productions of the duo Vinícius de Moraes - Baden Powell, recorded in 1964.
In 1961, already famous, Vinícius de Moraes accelerated his career even further with new partnerships and bold projects. Increasingly sought after by Brazilian and foreign collectors passionate about music or Brazilian culture, Vinícius de Moraes' handwritten documents rarely appear on the international market.
