The source of the music is a terrific film called "Black Orpheus", made
in Brazil in the early '60s. You can rent in in video stores that have
foreign films. Aside from the movie version you can find it in one of
the Sher Real Books, but I'm not sure which one. The old RB had it too,
as "Black Orpheus".
