I found it at this website: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2187002007562349927#


Hey, thanks a lot man! I was sad to think it was no longer available. Such a classic.

I was actually looking for it just this past weekend and ran into the same problem that you did. I found several youtube links that all said "removed by user". Finally, I found that that one. You're right, it's a classic.

Very cool video. Can't hear Marlon's quinto quite enough but you can see he's got it! Thanks for posting!

Wow, amazing, I did not know Brando really played conga.
A very nice video, especially because of Jack Costanzio´s impressive playing. 8)

Man you are right about the sound! I can hear the drunkards yelling at each other pretty well though :lol:

I faintly made out a zittzzz , zittzz, zittzz from your cajon ...I think.

I used to play witha combo that did this tune, played bongo with it, must try it with cajon.

Cheers

cajon is the way to go for the bossa nova tunes imo , easy to replicate the kit and get a nice samba vibe going . Starting to really enjoy playing it again .

Nice one Niall. The cajon gave a mellow kick/snare feeling that went well with the song.

AND... it doubles as a good place to sit. Nice mellow scene you had there. Given that most of my family names have irish roots I'm due for a visit to your parts. Know any Bickford's or O'Dwyers :D what about a Lukyn or O'Day - an irish/british mut I am :roll:

Sorry for my ignorance. :oops:
I had only seen the pictures of Marlon Brando posing with bongos and congas and had thought that
was mere posing.
Really interesting topic indeed, thanks for the other links.

Marlon Brando hung out in Cuba in the early 50's as well as Errol Flynn and many other actors actresses and the like..In the movie "Guys and Dolls" Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra play rival gangsters and are in Cuba in part of the movie where Brando plays a little bongos...so he had the experience of Rumba in Cuba..he came back and hooked up with Jack Costanzo who had also frequented Cuba and learned how to play from being there and the rest is his-story....That video comes from the Edward R. Murrow show that was very popular when TV was in black and white 1950's...I have the whole show on video also with other actors and actresses he interviewed...Marlon could 'get down'...there was also a bit of rivalry between him and James Dean(who also tried playing the Congas)... Brando said ..."he can't play!"....

Also it have to be noted that Marlon Brando and other "A" list stars of the time hung out at
the legendary "Palladium" in NYC. If I am not mistaken from time to time Marlon sat in with
some of the Palladium orchestras.
