So Danco Samba

Here is the perfect way to introduce your young singers to the Brazilian jazz samba, or bossa nova. Just enough repetition, some simple scat singing, and English subtext are a recipe for success. There's even a jazz tenor sax on the recorded accompaniment track, a tip of the hat to the great Stan Getz, who started the bossa nova craze in the US back in 1964. This is a great teaching piece, too, with a full page of performance notes, including translation and pronunciation guide.
