"Lover Lover Lover" — a Leonard Cohen cover


Leonard Constant & Florquestra Brasil bring Leonard Cohen's "Lover Lover Lover" into the pastry shop of Brazilian harmony, rhythm and instrumentation. This particular rhythmic pattern, with its delightful limp, is the "baião", a typical export of North-Eastern Brazil (along with sugar, cocoa, cotton, fruit and oil).

Personnel: Silvio Módolo (viola caipira, bass, pandeiro, cavaquinho, accordion, backup vocals), Regina Gomes Teixeira (tantan, triangle, wooden agogô, backup vocals) and Leonard Constant (vocals, guitar).
