Saravah (1969)
Documentary about Brazilian music circa 1969, with extremely rare scenes, such as the only color footage of Pixinguinha, images of João da Baiana, one of the fathers of Samba, Maria Bethânia rehearsing at Barroco nightclub, Baden Powell playing his acoustic guitar, Paulinho da Viola showing his masterpiece "Coisas do Mundo, Minha Nega", that he had just finished, and Márcia, a singer from São Paulo.

Really Surprised!
Overrated
hyped garbage
Absolutely the worst movie.
This movie is mandatory for any samba, bossa-nova or general Brazilian music fan.I did not know Baden Powell until I saw this film, and after viewing it I turned into a huge fan. The songs played are beautiful pieces of Brazilian culture that I think everyone should enjoy.Maria Bethânia also performs a few songs, and really pulls you into the feeling of each one. The relaxed background in some performance really allow you to feel like you're watching something few people get a chance to see: true artists recording and just hanging out in the backstage, or cafés.Almost 40 years old, and still a great film.9/10
