Roberto Carlos Videos - 1960s

This one's kinda long, but what a treat to see Rio from this vantage point and it almost looks like Roberto is actually piloting the helicopter. This is from his 1967/68? film "Roberto Carlos em Ritmo de Aventura" (Roberto Carlos in the Rhythm of Adventure). Ah, to be a teen idol in late 60s Rio de Janeiro!


It looks like this one is from the same film, but I'm not sure. I love the set on the roof a sky-scraper and Roberto's cape is sooo tight!


Really cool version from the movie (I'm guessing) "Roberto Carlos e Diamante Cor de Rosa" that includes a slightly different version of this song which was also on the S/T 1969 album.


A live, but poor quality television performance of "Nao Vou Ficar" from 1971.


My buddy Greg mentioned this tune as being from the above mentioned movie, but doesn't appear on the soundtrack. Here we have Roberto, Erasmo and Wanderlea cruising around in a jeep singing this song, which translates "I need to know how to live." I repeat, to be a teen idol in late 60s Rio de Janeiro!


A bizarre musical montage from one of Roberto's movies.

Peep the following super dope live footage:

Que Beleza begins at 1:05 - Crazy footage of Tim singing at a Racional Universe event with everyone dressed in white. Ridiculous!

Rodesia music video from 1976 album. Soul Train eat your heart out. Begins at 3:27

There's definitely many other great moments and even if you only understand a bit of Portuguese its a hell of life story and many of the anecdotes are very visual anyways. Here's a link to the first one and you can easily find the other 8 chapters.

Elis Regina - Ladeira da Preguiça

This is one of my favorite songs at the moment and I first really "listened" to it from this wonderful DVD put out by Trama in Brazil. When this is back in stock you can find it at Dustygroove. Having bought three of these Trama DVDs, this one is by far my favorite. Many of the other ones are from the 1990s, where this one was recorded right when her "Elis" album was coming out and featured many song from this album as well as the previous albums.

I also recommend the Cartola video, but here the director gets a bit too artistic for my tastes with many extremely shadowy extended shots of Cartola's hands or a box of matches used for percussion. And then there is the Tim Maia DVD, for Tim Maia diehard fans only. It's from 1992 and is logically the only one that Dustygroove has in stock. It's funny if only for Tim's meandering rants in between songs. Throughout most of it he looks like a besequined blimp over-singing every song he's every sung with a lot of slap-bass in the background.

Scoot on over to Soul Spectrum to listen to and download the MP3 of this song . . .

and as a bonus because I mentioned it over on SS, the video of the recording session for "Aguas de Marco"
