Is it Latin, Brazilian, or what?

Ive included this under European as the composer, Dorado Schmitt, is a French gypsy guitarist.

The music is described as Bossa, but as far as I can ascertain, has no connections with Brazil whatsoever, except the Bossa rhythm.

Dont know who the accordionist is, but its all made very easy for us with a moving score so that we can all keep up.

Simple really (if youre only interested in listening, like I am!)

The accordionist is russian, Oleg Bashkeev.

Enjoyable piece: thanks John ( in absentia ?)
And Art for reviving it!??

Gypsy Jazz “Latin” has very little to do with real Latin rhythms. More just a lack of swing. I always find that piece difficult to improvise over as it’s neither one thing nor another. I just hear Libertango.
