This is the first piece from the one-day accordion workshop , organised by the North Staffs Accordion Club, led by Andrew Purkiss and held at Marthall Village Hall, Knutsford in May 2024.

Black Orpheus (Manhã de Carnaval) was written by Luiz Bonfá and arranged by Paul De Bra for accordion quintet (1, 2, 3, 4, bass).
The song “Manhã de Carnaval” (Carnival Morning) by Luiz Bonfá is the
principal song of the film “Orfeu Negro” (Black Orpheus) from 1959. It
was a great hit world-wide and has become a jazz classic.
