Bossa Nova
Bossa nova is one of the most popular musical genres in the world. Songs such as “The Girl from Ipanema” (the fifth most frequently played song in the world), “The Waters of March,” and “Desafinado” are known around the world. Bossa Nova—a number-one bestseller when originally published in Brazil as Chega de Saudade—is a definitive history of this seductive music. Based on extensive interviews with Antonio Carlos Jobim, Jo+o Gilberto, and all the major musicians and their friends, Bossa Nova explains how a handful of Rio de Janeiro teenagers changed the face of popular culture around the world. Now, in this outstanding translation, the full flavor of Ruy Castro’s wisecracking, chatty Portuguese comes through in a feast of detail. Along the way he introduces a cast of unforgettable characters who turned Gilberto’s singular vision into the sound of a generation.
The Brazilian Sound
At the second International Song Festival in 1967, Milton Nascimento had three songs accepted for competition. He had no intention of performing them--he hated the idea of intense competition. In fact, Nascimento might never have appeared at all if Eumir Deodato hadn't threatened not to write the arrangements for his songs if he didn't perform at least two of them. Nascimento went on to win the festival's best performer award, all three of his songs were included soon afterward on his first album, and the rest is history. This is only one anecdote from The Brazilian Sound, an encyclopedic survey of Brazilian popular music that ranges over samba, bossa nova, MPB, jazz and instrumental music a...

Esse Mundo é Meu: As Artes de Sérgio Ricardo
Sérgio Ricardo é um artista múltiplo. Compositor, cineasta, artista plástico, escritor, sua obra é uma das mais significativas da cena cultural brasileira desde os anos 1960, assim como é uma das mais desconhecidas. Esse desconhecimento não é apenas relativo ao grande público, aos circuitos do "mercado", mas também diz respeito aos historiadores, críticos e produtores culturais em geral. Sua obra musical do início dos anos 1960 pode ser considerada fundacional de uma nova música popular brasileira, marcada pelo encontro do lirismo e do engajamento, dos acordes sutis e da busca dos sons populares. Ricardo transitou pelo bolero, pelo samba-canção, pelo samba, pelo jazz, pelo cho...
