@trilumia's cover of Na Bahia Tem / Cada Macaco no Seu Galho got me thinking thoughts of Brazil. So you have probably heard of The Girl from Ipanema and maybe heard the term bossa nova but then dropped it quick and forgot about it. You are missing out, friendo. Give these 5 videos a listen to sample some of the best. If you have a sleepy Sunday, watch all of Black Orpheus, which drops you right in media res of a stylized mythologized version of peak Bossa Nova Brazil. For those without such a sleepy Sunday, the below clips will give you a taste.
A Felicidade from Black Orpheus
Astrud Gilberto -- One Note Samba
Joao Gilberto -- Desafinado
Another version of A Felicidade by Astrud Gilberto, who not only for her singing, but also for her ludicrous 60's outfits, should be celebrated.
Jobim and Elis -- Aguas de Março
This is just a jumping off point for the curious and interested. Explore further at your leisure.
Thanks for the music inspiration! My favorite of all of these is A Felicidade by Astrud Gilberto.
I like the calm beats of the first three but can appreciate the upbeat of the last two. Astrad really puts a spin on her rendition which is nice. It's amazing how songs can have such a different feeling depending on who's singing it. Thanks for sharing!
My fave is the Desafinado by Jao Gilberto, so chill and sweet, totally perfect for a summer night!
beautiful. I used to wake up to Stan Getz every day for years. Love bossa nova/soft jazz
Nice! Don't tell my gf I got those from you okay? ;)

That's nice that you like Bossa Nova! So many good references there. Are you Brazilian? If not, you need to know also Tom Jobim and Gal Costa
Awesome music! :D
