   The title reads “OLD Bossa is always NEW Bossa” because they are trying to surf some old sambas (from the 1920s-1940s) in the Bossa Nova wave (early 1960s). It should be fine. João Gilberto among others covered a lot of these tunes beautifully (think of his and Stan Getz’s rendition of “Pra machucar meu coração) and Bossa Nova is Samba, anyway.

   The boy (or rather a midget with intense glaucoma) is dressed like a 1930s “malandro” (like the ones behind Carmen Miranda in some scenes) and he is drumming samba in a matchbox.

   And it’s because of images like this that people here in the States had held for the longest time the mistaken belief that all the people in Brazil were all born with these types of birth defects.
