The song was initially rejected for inclusion in the film by Camus, but Bonfá was able to convince the director that the music for <em>Manhã de Carnaval</em> was superior to the song Bonfá composed as a replacement.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manh%C3%A3_de_Carnaval#cite_note-All_Music_Guide-3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">^[3]</a> <em>Orfeu Negro</em> was an international success (winning, for example, an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Academy Award</a> in 1960),<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manh%C3%A3_de_Carnaval#cite_note-Oscars1960-4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">^[4]</a> and brought the song to a large audience.</p><p>"Manhã de Carnaval"' became one of the first <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bossa_Nova" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bossa Nova</a> compositions to gain popularity outside Brazil.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manh%C3%A3_de_Carnaval#cite_note-All_Music_Guide-3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">^[3]</a> Particularly in the United States, the song is considered to be one of the most important Brazilian Jazz/Bossa songs that helped establish the Bossa Nova movement in the late 1950s. "Manhã de Carnaval" has become a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_standard" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">jazz standard</a> in the U.S., while it is still performed regularly by a wide variety of musicians around the world in its vocalized version or just as an instrumental one. In the U.S., the song is also known as "A Day in the Life of a Fool", "Carnival", "Theme from Black Orpheus", or simply "Black Orpheus". In France, the song is also known as "La Chanson d'Orphée". All versions of foreign texts were written by lyricists other than Antônio Maria, using Bonfá's original music.</p>
