Olá galera,eu sou o Amaury Luis,gravei esse som com a galera que esta no vídeo....fomos convidados de surpresa ninguém se conhecia a fundo musicalmente, mas todos conheciam essa musica e, foi escolha minha a musica e a tonalidade em que foi executada,foi gravada num take só, não tem afinador pra voz é a voz real sem efeitos ,então a musica que se ouve é exatamente a essência dos músicos brasileiros com improvisos sem combinar nem ensaio antes ....e esse foi o resultado.Digo com exatidão que empregamos o nosso melhor e por isso creio que consegui representar a música brasileira e nossa naçao....pois só quem é musico sabe que não podemos perder a oportunidade e ela veio dessa forma que expliquei.Obrigado pelo comentários positivos e negativos pois todos são também de uma escuta sonora baseada na gravação original e no ponto de vista de cada um!

Igor Baldo

Amaury, obrigado por ter escolhido essa canção, e pelo arranjo. Ficou muito bom mesmo! Nesses tempos sombrios, foi bom sentir orgulho do meu país por alguns momentos!

amaury ma

@Igor Baldo ,tenho a mesma sensação amigo ... espero ter contribuído um pouco por esse momento onde possamos só nos atentar ao som e se desfazer de outra ótica que não seja positiva!

César Bento

Ficou muito bom, parabéns!

Zé Leal
