I was the assistant video tape editor on this concert and this song was my favorite. Such passion and I got to spend time with Lee during the post production and a nicer artist I never met!
How can't you watch this and not feel this dude's passion for a song basically about respect for an entertainer? Ivan is like the polished Joe Cocker of Brazil!
Muki Sumu The lyrics refer to a fun character from the Brazilian carnival (harlequin). The song tells of a time when the country yearned for freedom of expression after so many years of military repression. (🎵 ... to make my people happy again ...)
@@edenilsondepaulaamaral4547 Yep, but it also works on a different, much simpler level: the clown (the word palhaço = clown is also used in the lyrics), not being taken seriously, is the one who brings happiness and basically is a savior with the courage. The words are sublime. Quem terá encarnado a sua alegria? Quem terá ensaiado a sua folia? Quem terá o trabalho louvado? Quem terá o destino sagrado Pra fazer minha gente feliz novamente? Translation: Who will have embodied his joy? Who has rehearsed his revelry? Who will have his work praised? (or his praised work) Who will have the sacred destiny? To make my people happy again? (my people doesn't necessarily refer to a specific county, it can also mean people you sympathize with.
Drums enter in a marching style, wow what a kick on a chest! All sits very tight. Great song, but what can you expect having such a dream team on board :-) Portugese is very emotional language, for me who does not understand a word :-)
A group of musical masters that created a unique live musical experience. This live version just blows the recorded version away. Great musicians at the top of their craft! If only they had released this on CD and not only on Laser Disc...
I have this live recording on LP, DVD, CD & Laser Discs. To me this recording & especially the performance of all the musical artists are off the charts good even by today’s standards not to mention in 80s. When i got the LP & the Laser discs in 80s, i played it non stop for months on end. Couldn’t get enough of it. Really miss the great Carlos Vega. He left us far too soon.
Lembro de um show do Ivan Lins no ponto do Cem Reis, show gratuito para o povão, no centro de João Pessoa. Foi apenas inesquecível! Só de ouvir ao vivo a introdução de canções como essa é de arrepiar!!!!
A outra falecida lenda, Jeffrey Porcaro, se espelhava no Vega! E ainda têm outro batera de sessão de Los Angeles talentosíssimo mas pouco falado chamado Ed Greene, que também têm um pocket bem parecido com os outros dois.

Perfect!!! on this year I had only 5 years old, but now this is one of my lovely song! Thanks for compose this song guys!!!! aaaa the musicians are goodness!!!!

@@BadenBattleBase Thanks a lot. When I go to Brazil, like I do every year, I will ask Ivan Lins. We are from the same place, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I know him quite well. Lee Ritnour is married to Carmen, who is from my country too. Thanks a lot for your input on this one. At some point, Ivan Lins was a Yamaha and then Kurzeil artist, which makes sense for the Yamaha NX (classic keyboard and top-rated instrument, along with the Yamaha DX7, very popular in the 80s and 90s).

fantastic song even though i don't know a single word of it...........1st heard it in 1998
Cool he’s seems like he’d be so nice. Amazing talent
Wow. Any songs you know of that were recorded but didn't make it to the DVD release?
I saw this group at the JVC Jazz Festival in NYC. Everyone was fabulous. Great memories. Love to go back in time.. Peace Everyone!
Maravilha musical. Quem tem Ivan Lins, não precisa de mais nada…👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ivan Lins genial 😮😮👏👏👏👏👏👏
I was introduced to Ivan Lins’ music with this song and‘Harlequin’ album back in the 80s. And that changed my musical tastes forever.
i played this song over and over, every morning for almost 5 years... sometimes i cry with joy when i heard the music
I understand You so much!!! This performance has something special, I also can cry then listen this
@@VadimShinnik X ! 1t!
I Can Relate!
You have OCD,pls go to see psychiatrist
Masterpiece of Ivan Lins
Yes, agree! One of my favorite works. In the context of Dave Grusin, this song has a special charm
Absolutely 💗
@@VadimShinnik So Much So!!! Thanks for this!
noone sung it better
Mr. Lins your an artist that will never get old!
I grew up with this album... First time watching this live...😨 Ivan Lins... Not a note off!!!
I was obsessed with this album since it came out. Love, love love it!
I was too, still love it. Crazy that I married a Brazilian who doesn't care for Ivan...
same here- couldn't stop listening to it.
Same here. I have this album in CD, DAT and now is trying to get a SACD version. Love this album
I’m STILL obsessed with it
Have ya?
How can't you watch this and not feel this dude's passion for a song basically about respect for an entertainer? Ivan is like the polished Joe Cocker of Brazil!
Ivan Lins ... the best in brazilian melodies !
Let me add...unforgetabble night and performances!
Love anything by Ivan Lins, but this one is the bomb!
This and Dinorah, Dinorah!
Mr. Ivan Lins! ❤❤❤❤
I don't understand a word. But I felt every piece

Why the need to say "I don't understand" then...???

Ivan Lins blows this song away!!!
Never get tired of this

Carlos Vega
R.I.P.
:'(
Que jóia achar isso... old but gold !
Ivan Lins genial 😮😮👏👏👏👏👏
One of the best jazz song ever
Carlos vega na Bateria melhor som de bateria que já ouvi !!!

@@IronMan-tk8uc Jeff Porcaro é o meu herói uma grande perda na indústria da música !

@@thiagomanobatera Sim. Acho que desde 2007 que eles não vem aqui.
Nossa tô feliz demais com esse video. A qualidade tá ótima. Amei!

Sad how he committed suicide... 😞
@@deancannarozzi3385yes 😕

Que coisa mais linda essa música ! Cada dia descubro uma música nova de Ivan Lins .
Amo esse cara 💖
Lee Ritenour apaixonado pela nossa música, e ainda acrescenta swing.. Dms né?
just brilliant
Grand moment🙏👏👍💝
First Harlequin album I had was on cassette tape. The inside cover had the short English translation of Harlequin and Antes que seja tarde.
what is the english trans for that song plz. i cant find it anywhere .
@@clarkbilly5670
Many Ivan Lins songs were about brazilian military dictatorship, it's important to know this context to understand the lyrics (and maybe even the music, like the snare drums intro in this song)
Harlequin
Who's gonna play
Who's gonna dance
Who's gonna go out as an Harlequin
Who's gonna play (an instrument)
Who's gonna cry
Who's gonna make his mandolin moan
Who's gonna perform with his happiness
Who's gonna perform playfully as him
Who's gonna get the praised job, who's gonna have the sacred task to make our people happy again
Who's gonna be daring like the clown
Who's gonna have his charm and his easy laughing
Who's gonna have this beautiful job
Who's gonna have this sacred addiction to make my people happy again
thank you @@FelipeGomesProfessor I live in Los Angeles where this was filmed. Always wondered what he was singing about with so much passion.
Transcendent💖💖💖
AMAZING
Baita som galeras!! Greetings from Brazil Embu das Artes sp

Carlos Vega super feeling parti trop tôt ....
Saw Lee in Hawaii with Spyro Gyro man what a show
Had almost forgotten about Spyro Gyra. Thanks for the reminder! Love them.
@@AlAndValOffGrid Never forget Spyro my friend, ever!
In 1:49 the staff even wakes up from the trip!!
Amazing!!!
Simplesmente espetacular! Música!
Awesome, had the laser disk back in the day...
Obra prima!
Je ne savais pas qu'alain chabat etait devenu chanteur !!!

Grande Ivan Lins!!! Hoje lembrado pela visita do Lula na China com um tema lindíssimo "Novo Tempo", de emocionar até monge!!!
the best on this planet! and also my-be all planet! I don't know any othter planet.
Super.!!!!
Muito bom 😊
totaly has that MPB-80's-fusion-Koinonia sound here
Grande
Muito show
All I can say is that this is off the scale. Ivan Linz was a composer for a lot of masterpieces.
♡♡♡
The Manhattan Transfer's "Metropolis"
5:45 O Ivan Lins tá a cara do Seu Batista da Escolinha!!! kkk
Cara eu pensei exatamente isso tbm, acho que era só eu que pensava isso no planeta inteiro 😅😅
Does anybody know where I can get the south african house remix?
Can someone tells me what type of acoustic guitar Lee Ritenour is playing in this video? I love his electric and Accoustic guitar. It sounds good.
Kinda looks like a yamaha ncx, but not 100% sure.

Yes, it's Abe Laboriel!
Был на его концерте в Москве лет двадцать назад. Жаль акустика была плохая....
