Best of Brazil: Tico Tico in the Orchestra

ByAndrew

We’ve featured the Brazilian classic “Tico Tico no Fubá” before on this website…but never like this. Here it gets a full orchestra treatment, and not just from one orchestra, but two!

In reality, I found both and couldn’t decide which arrangement I liked better, so I included them both.

First up, an orchestra that I am having trouble identifying…but with a thoroughly enjoyable rendition of the song. If anybody knows who this is, let me know in the comments.

Next up, the same arrangement, but the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie gives it a whole new flavor. Now you can see why it was hard to choose!

Some may question my inclusion of this in a “Best of Brazil” post. After all, it’s an outlaw fleeing police and committing numerous traffic violations in the process.
