I have an infatuation with Brazil's music culture. For me, it's real suave music, classy and what I listen to on my down time. The Bossa Nova sound is what people like Frank Sinatra tried to emulate in so many ways. Everytime I listen to this music I think to myself...this is what James Bond would listen to whenever with a woman.
A "Bossa Nova" medley - Live in 1968
The song 'Estate' by Joao Gilberto
Estate means summer in Italian
Lyrics:
Summer
you're hot like the kisses I lost
you're full of a love that is past
and that my heart would erase
I hate the summer
the sun that used to warm us everyday
what wonderful sunsets it painted
now it burns only with rage
A new winter will come back
a thousand roses' petals will fall
the snow will cover everything
and maybe a little peace will come back
I hate the summer
that gave her scent to every flower
the summer that created our love
just to let me die of sorrow
And then the true master...Antonio Carlos Jobim
Samba + Jazz = Brasil
