in the summer of 1958, a singer-guitarist from bahia in the north of brazil called joao gilberto created a musical revolution when he joined with bossa novas seminal songwriting team, the gifted composer antonio carlos jobim, and the poet and former diplomat, vinicius de moraes, to record the songs that would launch this cool, futuristic new music for a confident new era. bossa nova - the new way - was influenced by modern classical music (villa-lobos, debussy), jazz and samba-cancao. gilberto brought an unprecedented guitar style and a hushed, understated form of vocal expression that defined the movement and changed the course of music history. in 1959 joao gilberto released 'chega de saudade', the first bossa nova lp record and brazilian music never looked back. el's dition features the original (long out of print) classic album in its entirety, supplemented by the impossibly rare ep of songs from the film 'black orpheus' and recordings of some of the famous songs of 'chega de saudade' by contemporaries such as elizete cardoso, os cariocas, alaide costa, norma bengell and bola sete.
