0016 – Matita Perê – Sivuca, Clara Nunes, Fagner, Tom and João Gilberto

Sivuca has composed so many beautiful songs about our Northeast region. You will know three songs, from the album Cabelo de Milho, which was recorded in 1980. You’ll find two great singers in this album: Fagner, who was featured here with Hermeto Pascoal, in Meu Violão edition, and Clara Nunes, our female samba super star, who wasn’t presented yet. A big surprise for the future.

João Gilberto doesn’t need any introduction. Born in Bahia, he is considered to be the father of Bossa Nova. Let’s listen to two less known songs from the album which brought our most known rythm in the world to life, Chega de Saudade, 1958.

Tom Jobim is a huge idol in Brazil and United States too, since he’s lived there for many years and recorded many albuns in USA studios. We’ll listen two samples from the tiny album Matita Perê, from 1973.

0008 – Araçá – Astrud Gilberto, Stan Getz, Dona Cila do Coco and Bola Sete

Bola Sete is a brazilian guitarrist who toured with the famous trumpet player Dizzy Gillespie. We’ll play three songs from one of his albums, Travessuras do Bola.

Dona Cila do Coco is a regional singer. She represents one of our most exciting rythms called Coco. Besides Bossa Nova and Samba, there are many other spectacular rythms to discover in Brazil.

Astrud Gilberto was presented by Stan Getz in his album Getz/Gilberto. She was João Gilberto’s wife and made some unforgettable recordings, like Garota de Ipanema and Água de Beber. She had never performed professionaly before, and she was not so technical, as some can tell from these recordings.

0007 – Midnight – João Gilberto, Guinga, Hermeto Pascoal, Egberto Gismonti and Gilson Peranzzetta

Due to problems in my pc, I had to delay the delivery of this podcast. Sorry! Just press the play button in the following player to listen to this edition!

This time I bring you Guinga, super-modern composer born in Rio de Janeiro. His music is very different. He brings a post-bossa nova feeling in guitar harmonies.

Gilson Peranzzetta, considered by Quincy Jones to be one of the world’s best arrangers, is playing his piano solo in Guaraú and Tico-Tico no Fubá with Sebastião Tapajós, Maurício Einhorn and Altamiro Carrilho, from their album Encontro de Solistas (Soloist Meeting). These other three musicians are also wonderful!

Hermeto Pascoal is considered one of the greatest musicians and composers of all times! We play here his song Bebê, a song played by Dominguinhos in the post Ilusion, send by @claudio_cads.

Egberto Gismonti is also a world-class composer. We play here Sanfona, a brilliant song.

We finish with João Gilberto, Bossa-Nova’s father, playing Águas de Março from Tom Jobim, named the best brazilian song of all times.

0004 – Big Fish – Chico Buarque, João Bosco and Martinho da Vila

This time, we bring you three of our greatest and most popular composers! Chico Buarque, João Bosco and Martinho da Vila!

By 2006, the legendary Chico Buarque recorded the sophisticated album Carioca,  with many rhythm fusions, great beats and some experimental concepts in composition.

João Bosco recorded Dá Licença Meu Senhor in 1995. Besides being a wonderful composer, he brings his interpretive side to the album, reconstructing very famous songs with new rhythms and styles. We’ll play two of his choices: Vatapá and Se Você Jurar.

In 1974, Martinho da Vila recorded the album Canta Canta, Minha Gente! Among Candomble’s religious hymns are sambas that caught people’s attention. Here we’ll play the partido-alto samba style Canta Canta, Minha Gente and Visgo de Jaca, a groovy Bossa Nova strongly influenced by Joao Gilberto’s singing style.
