There’s a Brazilian Choro group that does US tours every year, with lots of cities included. Three sisters, young women, including a flautist, a multi-instrumentalist who spends most of her time on mandolin, and a 7-string guitarist. They are excellent musicians and delightful people. The name of the group is Choro Das Tres, and they have a good website. I go to their concerts in Memphis every year.

well.. This song is also about the dictatorship Brazil was under. Any song criticizing the military regime would be censored, so they did it anyways, but in a way that the military would not understand. The dictatorship started on April. So the March waters were promising, because the president was promissing land reform and advance of workers' rights.. it was all interrupted with the military-industrialists coup. So the brazilians had to deal with a lot of repression and violence (sticks and stones, end of the road = death). Thousands of people died and we don't even know for sure how many, since the military did not want to face any of the consequences and every president after that are she3ting their pants afraid of them or even trying to impose another coup, like the former psycho president Bolsonaro.

Nice job! Jobim and Ellis the ultimate version. I'm a big fan of Brazilian music too from Hermeto to Joyce and everything in between. There's an old cliche about Brazilian music: You could sing a phone book in Portuguese and sound good.

I love this video, one of my favorite songs in the world

I can definitely hear some Chicago resemblance in there

Loving Bosa led me to learning the language which tastes delicious in the mouth. I was on a six week road trip with 99% Brazilian music on my Playlist. The music keeps me awake while driving because I'm attentive and noting new words to my vocabulary 😊

I always thought the drum was left out to begin gently; the story of the song is a kinda sensitive one ❤

Incredible!

This was the same thing done by the guys behind Loony Tunes back in the 50s to the 70s (I think). They usually used classical music as background music. For those of us who grew up to Looney Tunes were introduced to "William Tell" and "The Barber of Seville". Up to now, every time I hear those music, my mind would wonder to how Bugs, Daffy, Elmer and other characters.

Man I gotta look up the magic flute (cosi fan tutti?) I'm prolly all wrong; I so envied my friend who had a book of opera summaries in high-school! Well, off to Wikipedia! Gotta see if I can get this for my little one... he so loves Mario and guys and all! Edit: Hahaha! I have probably a classic exam paper comedy of errors jumble: for some reason I was associating Cosi Fan Tutte with the Magic Flute, trying to remember the magic flute in its original language (Die Zauberflöte), but drawing a blank. All the while I was thinking how would "all together" (the meaning of the "tutti" direction in my grade school band music) have anything to do with a flute. So then, I saw a paper Mario advert and remembering "ojos papeles" and now learning cosi fan tutte translates to "all girls are like that." I see some surficial common themes, lol!

My parents love Roupa Nova. I suspect I might have been ... manufactured ... to their songs. I'm 33, btw.

Who would have thought to make it relatable? Thats why we dont like opera people, stuck in there ways and stuck up because they are "classically" knowledged. Like give me a break that this is something new STFU

What happened to the other version with male voice ???

Wonderful video! "Águas de Março" is a jewel of our music ❤ A note: around minute 08:20, you talk about the first notes we hear on the piano, in fact they do not represent small sprinkles of rain, they REPRESENT A SINGING OF A BRAZILIAN BIRD called MATITA-PERÊ, or also, Matitapereira 🐦 Jobim loved mentioning Brazilian nature in his work, just as Heitor Villa-Lobos did. The same singing by Matita-pereira can be heard in the first bars of the great Choros n.6 by Villa-Lobos (a great inspiration from Jobim).

yep! you just need to trust the process

Pure Genius, still miss her

It's a lydian dominant mode. (derived from the ascending melodic minor scale), or jazz melodic minor. C D E F# G A Bb (G melodic minor ascending)

Transcendent word painting. Brilliant to start with that dominant 7th inversion. Who would think to do that other than someone like Jobim. A "go to" for me as well.

😂❤

Spineta!, uno de los musicos mas importantes del rock argentino, te recomiendo si es que aun no lo haz escuchado, a pescado rabioso, otra de sus bandas

Louisiana was a French possession. Louis = Louie - as in Louis 14 - king of France

Love this song a lot too. Seemingly so simple but genius.

So you are amazing you even make the trombone sound like a flute!!!

check out my piece Night Bloom, featuring various sizes of whirly tubes with percussion instruments!

Please react to Taiane by Armandinho, it is a Frevo, fast and energetic!

Great stuff man, keep it up, but please, do not cut the video so much, it kills both the attention and the quality of it. I know you can film one short in one take. Even if you stutter, it's way better than this. Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Kiko, the Roupa Nova guitarrist, actually shared this song's vocals from each member of the band here in youtube. None of them sing at the same tune at the same time, and that created the powerful effect of an actual choir we hear in this song. Roupa Nova has many wonderful songs, but Sapato Velho is one of my absolute favorites.

Hmmm..., i agree classical music *is* for everyone! And I love your reference to outreach programs and the languages and countries classical music includes. It is universal; it also encompasses the range of human experience. And as more classical music has been composed outside its place of origin, Europe, it becomes even more pancultural! I am thinking my take that follows is not the one to take for debunking elitist opinions, but it seems to me to be the elephant in the room: One reason it is considered elitist in our culture is it gets used in "heuty toity" contexts (eg, grey poupon commercials). This is a bit tautological because such examples are illustration of this perception, but it fits this discussion. It also seems to me that it is considered elitist because in many cases you have to get a whole bunch of ppl and/or complex instruments together to perform it and ppl had to be rich ("elite") or "connected" to do that. ...and for the masses to hear classical music, they had to go to the location of performance, with chamber works often shuttered in rich people's parlors. Even now, symphonies still require a bunch of people with, now more available, complex instruments. But with the advent of recording and playback technologies it *has* become accessible to everyone. Dad mentioned to me once driving to school with KKGO (Los Angeles commercial classical radio station) playing, "We are like kings!" He was referring to the music we have available at our fingertips! ❤❤❤❤❤😊❤❤❤❤❤

Muito bom o seu português.

I use it to describe anyone who's looking down on a person for what they're listening to or more importantly when they discovered the music no matter the genre..That being said rock/pop musicians look down on djs, Jazz musicians look down on them, and classical players look down on us all..Not everyone of course but in my experience there's a lot of ego out there..Great video!

Never heard any, or heard of them. Some of them sound interesting, all exotic to varying extent. As TSWaves1 said, maybe sometime you could pick one or two and let us hear them in the context of a song. 😊

What songs use these? Id like to hear it in music. Sounds Egyptian almost.

O Chorinho é invenção Carioca, Cidade do Rio de Janeiro, não brasileira. O Brasil não tem o direito de chamar o Choro de seu.

Oh my God all the songs that you just listed right now are my favorites how did you know😂😂😂

No they use the right to play and left to put their hand inside the bell

Uma pena que não tenha tradução dos comentarios. Providencia.

They tried "synthesizers"? In 1965?

Thanks! Just learning accordion. Suggestion: If origin is African or early American slavery, what music does that music sound like?

You gotta be kidding me. 🤦

I like the "(show composer)" note that pops up part way through. Is that something we are supposed to do ourselves?

The Sergio Mendez version is my morning wakeup song... a modal/chromatic masterpiece, and absolutely one of my favorite songs that combines such beauty and complexity that anyone can relate to. Also, most Westerners - at least in the U.S. - are well versed in Brazilian rhythms courtesy of Vince Guaraldi's Charlie Brown Christmas! Everything he wrote had the coolest latin/jazz influences. Thanks for the analysis!

There are so many people with Italian ancestry living in the USA. I'd guess that's the main reason for it being high up the list.

why is japanese learned?

David, I strongly agree with your view that countries attain prominence through the arts. How many tourist dollars go to places with great museums? Great architecture with great art on the ceilings and walls? And almost all of the older traditional art was funded by wealthy members of the aristocratic classes. Of course we have examples of monuments these classes haves erected to themselves in the USA. I wonder if they also contribute in proportion to supporting the work of artists. Probably, they do. Every city has agencies for arts funding. And the Federal level has its programs, though they may be controversial at times-Sen. Jesse Helms, a couple of decades or more ago, did everything he could to reduce or destroy the NEA. People love the arts. But what are the mechanisms that keep the flow of public funding for them going? How do we “turn up the volume,” so to speak?

I am impressed by your go-get-it-ness. I like to hole up with the familiar and find it difficult to leave my comfort zone. I remember the Javanese Gamelan performances at UC Riverside... I love the resonance of the ranat thum!

The blending of voice and instrument makes me think of a Paul Simon interview that Stephen Colbert just did. Paul Simon said he was going for that which could just barely be heard; an element i recognize in common between this, Sound of Silence and the song with the line Stop, listen, what's that sound, everyone look what's going down...

I wish the reel didn't go silent halfway through

thanks for the info
