LOST SONGS: Rio Dawning, Oscar Castro Neves

_

Rio Dawning is on an early Paul Winter Consort disc. Brazilian composer Oscar Castro-Neves wrote and played guitar with the group.

But there's a second recording of Oscar singing his eerie song, live in Tokyo. That he can vocalese  the cello part he wrote decades ago is haunting.

That's the version above.  One take. Live.

The original instrumental is here...
