The 'What Song Are You Listening To Now' Thread

[Vesper 30,083]

Jorge Ben - Fio Maravilha

probably the most beautiful song ever written about football

unfortunately Fio had close to the worst teeth in football history as well, lolol

bonus, the video is shot in Flamengo in Rio

João Batista de Sales (born January 19, 1945 in Conselheiro Pena, Minas Gerais), better known as Fio Maravilha, is a former Brazilian football player. In Brazil he played for Flamengo, Paysandu Sport Club, CEUB, Desportiva and São Cristóvão. Later he moved to the United States, where he played for the New York Eagles, the Montebello Panthers, and the San Francisco Mercury.

He is perhaps most famous for the hit single "Fio Maravilha" that was written about him in 1972 by Jorge Ben (later known as Jorge Ben Jor). The musician attended a friendly game between Flamengo and Benfica in the Maracanã stadium. Fio Maravilha was left out of Flamengo's starting lineup by coach Mário Zagallo, but after a chorus of fans demanded that he play, he was brought in as a substitute. After 33 minutes in the second half he scored the goal ("the goal of an angel") that was immortalized in the song:

...driblou o goleiro
Só não entrou com bola e tudo porque teve humildade.

Donny Hathaway - Someday We'll All Be Free [The Reflex Revision]

 

A bit of a special mix for me, Donny’s words resonate more than ever today... Not often that I bump the tempo from 77 to 115 bpm but I thought there was a great hook to be used with the strings and brass riff. The opportunity to bring Donny’s words onto the dance floors ! (When they reopen obviously).
