My Producer’s Notes
Welcome!
Sixty-five years ago this week, – on July 10th, 1958 – a down-on-his-luck musician walked into a recording studio in Rio de Janeiro to become Bossa Nova’s unlikely hero.
Can you imagine a world without Bossa Nova? It almost happened.
The Sounds of Brazil brings you a special program: the musical story behind Bossa Nova’s first song, ‘Chega de Saudade’. It’s a story that almost didn’t happen and it’s filled with twists and turns that shaped music history.
We’ll go back in time to hear what Brazilian music sounded like before Bossa Nova, and we’ll re-live the events that transformed an unremarkable song by Antonio Carlos Jobim into one of the most important moments in Brazilian music, ever.
But first, let’s catch up with a few timely tips for the week ahead:
Happy Listening,
Scott Adams
