Clarinetist and orchestra leader Severino Araujo has led Brazil's venerable dance band Orquestra Tabajara since 1938.
Many thanks to an anonymous reader for sharing this amazing samba reading of the classic Gershwin melody.
The story goes that this recording was a national success when it was released, although at the time it was also met with controversy for not being of Brazilian origin.
