We’re very involved in Latin music (Latin American, not Latin-Italian ;-), but I’ve never really taken a shine to Bossa Nova. Do you have a YouTube link or something to a good performance?
Coming right up . . .
Astrud Gilberto with the New Stan Getz Quartet, "The Girl From Ipanema", from a 1964 television performance.
Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd, "One Note Samba", video montage accompanying . . .
I have to wait for my husband to come back from kayaking to turn the sound on the computer. I don’t know how. Was admiring Astrud’s amazing 60s hair, though!
Very soporific, but if one were in the mood for it, I could see the appeal.
