Commentary:
Original score for this Portugese comedy consists mostly of various
wind instruments, guitars and percussion and small strings section.
The orchestral part is reduced mostly on string pizzicato providing
rhytmical element throughout the score and occasional solos
including trumpet, clarinet or piano (as usual, performed by the
composer himself). This unheard promotional album offers catchy and
original score, which remains one of the unreleased works and with
its Rota-esque energy comes like a natural cousin to Guy
Farley's eclectic score for LAND OF THE BLIND.
