Really interesting to see/hear both these versions. I love the arrangement of the original and (from within my own frame of reference), I couldn't help feeling that there was a certain amount of influence from Claus Ogerman. I'm also with @DaveFry re the Berimbau. I've always loved Latin percussion instruments and have been mightily impressed seeing the likes of Airto Moreira and Nana Vasconcelos, in particular, work their magic on these.
