Brazilian guitarist and composer (1922–2001)
Musical artist
Luiz Floriano Bonfá (17 October 1922 – 12 January 2001) was a Brazilian guitarist and composer. He was best known for the music he composed for the film Black Orpheus.[1]
Biography
Luiz Floriano Bonfá was born on October 17, 1922, in Rio de Janeiro. He began studying with Uruguayan classical guitaristIsaías Sávio at the age of 11. These weekly lessons entailed a long, harsh commute (on foot, plus two and half hours on train) from his family home in Santa Cruz, in the western rural outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, to the teacher's home in the hills of Santa Teresa.

Antonio Carlos Jobim was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to cultured parents. His father was a diplomat, and his mother founded a primary school. He began formal music studies in his teens, eventually foregoing the idea of becoming an architect. His early influences were the big bands of the ‘40s, West Coast jazz of the ‘50s, composers such as Debussy, Stravinsky, Chopin, Villa-Lobos (introduced to him by his German piano teacher), and, of course, the Brazilian samba.
Jobim played piano in nightclubs and made his first recording in 1954, backing a vocalist as “Tom” and His Band. With poet Vinicius de Moraes and vocalist/guitarist Joao Gilberto, Jobim created a new musical style which became known as the bossa nova. It borrowed from the samba, jazz rhythms, and European harmonies. He scored de Moraes’ play Orfeu do Carnaval in 1956 which became the film Black Orpheus in 1959, scored by Jobim and Luis Bonfa. It won both the Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film and the Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or for its director Marcel Camus. Most importantly, its music fue
