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.

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.

0011 – Berekekê – Ben Jor, Francis, Chico, Tom, Sinatra, Gal, Raphael, Ari, Ney, Geraldo, Paulinho and Hermínio

Jorge Ben Jor is one of the best groove makers here. He was a friend of Tim Maia, Roberto Carlos and Erasmo Carlos since childhood. Jorge and Tim had the same nickname “Babulina” when they were teenagers and started their school bands, because of Roonie Self’s “Bop-A-Lena” song. They were huge fans of rockabilly style.

Francis Hime is a great Bossa Nova composer. You’ll be amazed by Passaredo, in which Chico Buarque was his partner.

Frank Sinatra recorded an album with Tom Jobim’s songs. It is a very pleasing album. Listen to Corcovado, or Quiet Nights, the title in the English lyrics.

Gal Costa is one of the best singers in the world. She released a very sweet and sentimental live album in Trama records, from which I have taken a track to put here.

In “Meu Violão” edition, you listened to Raphael Rabello’s production. Now, enjoy his guitar in No Rancho Fundo, a song from the composer Ari Barroso, with the singer Ney Matogrosso.

Geraldo Azevedo is another composer from Pernambuco, as Capiba, showed in Meu Violão edition. He is a soulful poet, very skilled guitar player and a cool singer. He started learning all by himself at 12, and many years later became a reference with his beautiful songs.

Paulinho da Violais one of our most popular samba composers. Listen to a song made together with Hermínio Bello de Carvalho, a great poet who wrote many of our most popular songs as a parner of astonishing musicians.

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.
