Good music, too!
Did Django Reinhart write the original version of the theme? Or is it just a jazz standard?
I think Michael Karmen did the score. I love what electric guitar does to that tune.
"With the Brazil soundtrack, Michael Kamen achieves what few composers in any medium have done; fuse a stunning variety of forms (ranging from symphonic to jazz to thirties pop), stuff them with allusions (everything from Maurice Ravel to Woody Woodpecker) - and make the final result as gloriously, giddily romantic as it is heartbreaking."

Bachianas de Brazil...pretty old samba standard
