0015 – Ingá – Tom Jobim, Cartola, Toninho Horta, Joyce, Chick Corea and Flora Purim

Cartola is a huge symbol of our samba. He’s considered by many critics as the best samba composer of the history.

Chick Corea is maybe the best jazz electric pianist. Do you know the difference between a keyboard and an electric piano? Most people here in Brazil don’t distinguish one from another. Everything is called “keyboard” here, because most keyboards can play electric piano samples. But there is a sensitive difference. Listen to these jazzy samba tracks I got here, with the amazing brazilian singer Flora Purim, from the 1973 album, Light As a Feather.

Joyce and Toninho Horta recorded an album with Jobim’s songs, called “Sem Você” (Without You). Joyce is a tradicional Bossa Nova singer, whereas Toninho Horta is a world class guitar player.

From Samba To Bossa – BBC’s Documentary

While surfing, I found out Jorge Alberto’s blog (in Portuguese). He talks and knows a lot about Brazilian Music (mainly samba) and has posted a piece of a BBC’s documentary (in English) about it. The episodes were posted originally in salmax channel in youtube. Great artists speeches: Paulinho da Viola, Joyce, Riachão, Leci Brandão and so on. The movie’s first part is divided in two vídeos:

Part 1

Part 2
