This is very very very (you notice I put 3) long as j 'I wanted to write an article on this song I love so much and especially which is highly representative a fabulous musical style, bossa nova.
A Garota de Ipanema , The Girl from Ipanema in its English version, is a legendary song. She has helped raise awareness of the bossa nova in the world.
This musical style was born in Brazil in the late 1950s, a cross between samba and cool jazz. The arrival of bossa nova on the Brazilian music scene comes from the rejection of traditional Brazilian popular music by musicians from Rio de Janeiro, among which are João Gilberto, Normando Santos, Vinicius de Moraes, Antonio Carlos Jobim to inspire part of the Youth Ipanema and Copacabana.
In 1963, thanks to the collaboration of Joao Gilberto and saxophonist Stan Getz in the album Getz & Gilberto , bossa nova won worldwide success with A Garota de Ipanema . In this version, João Gilberto began singing in Portuguese and Astrud Gilberto, his wife, then resumes in English, with Stan Getz on sax:
Since I do not find video the previous one, here's one or the lovely Astrud sings alone, exclusively in English (with Getz and his sax)
For the record, Astrud, Joao married since 1959 to have an affair with Stan Getz shortly after the release of the album and divorced from Brazilian musician.
This beautiful song, dating from 1962, is the work of Antonio Carlos Jobim for music and the poet Vinicius de Moraes Brazilian original lyrics. The English lyrics are by Norman Gimbel. They were added in 1963 for the album Getz & Gilberto .
Basically, Vinicius de Moraes gave a different version of this song, having to name
Menina that Passa (The girl passing by) . It was composed for a musical, Dirigível ( Blimp), on which Tom and Vinicius worked. But neither author was satisfied with this version.
The final text of the song was inspired by a young girl of 19 years, Heloisa Eneida Menezes Paes Pinto, better known as the Helo Pinheiro, who lived in Ipanema. She spent every day to go to the beach, past the bar Veloso (now called "Garota de Ipanema") that Tom and Vinicius were regulars. Looking at this photo of the day, we understand that the girl (who was 17 in 1962) has attracted the attention of two authors.
Here they are in a touching duet, a few years later ...
revelação In the book: a verdadeira Garota de Ipanema , Vinicius de Moraes described as Helo Pinheiro:
" the paradigm of the raw Carioca: a girl tanned, between the flower and mermaid, full of light and grace but with some sadness, as she wore her on the way to the sea, the feeling of what passes, a beauty that is not ours alone - it is a gift of life that his beautiful and melancholic ebb and flow permanent ".
I was
chance to go to Rio in 2004. So I went for a walk in Ipanema, we must say that I was staying not far away, Copacabana (I know, it's been showing off ...). I was rather disappointed by the famous bar that is visibly become a real tourist trap (we had guessed!), but still happy to tread the sand from the famous beach.
You will notice in this photo (taken by yours truly), the sign of the street. The name "Vinicius de Moraes" has been given to the street where lived Montenegro Heloisa Pinheiro.
To complete the story of the beautiful Helo Pinheiro, having been a model and especially playmate, it opened in 2001, a shop called "Garota de Ipanema" where she sells T-shirts with the words of the famous song. The heirs of authors have pursued the beautiful, but the Brazilian justice ruled in his favor and has since opened other stores in Rio and Sao Paulo.
Getting back to the song, before the couple Gilberto and Stan Getz to see her in the world, a Brazilian singer had made the first commercial recording in 1962, Pery Ribieiro:
In nearly 50 years, this song became one of the world's most famous and is one of the largest successful recordings of the twentieth century. She, of course, been taken many times by over 300 different performers.
I have done a search but it was not easy, you will find others on the excellent music blog recovery.
In fact, either side of men or for women, the most beautiful voices sang Garota de Ipanema / The Girl from Ipanema . Starting with the greatest of them, that of Frank Sinatra in 1967. It is here, duets with Tom Jobim, the composer of the song:
The second largest performer of the twentieth century has also seized The Girl from Ipanema for any smooth jazz version Nat King Cole:
Here we find an older Joao Gilberto as a duet with Caetano Veloso popular :
Astrud, when her , performed a new version in 1977, riding the disco wave, produced by Vincent Montana. Without doubt she had needed the money because the result is more than mediocre
It continues with an instrumental version by the great Brazilian guitarist Baden Powell:
Some female performers have changed the title to The Boy from Ipanema .
is the case with the great Ella Fitzgerald which offers a very personal version. You will notice that bits of Agua de Beber and Fly Me to the Moon were part of this interpretation:
course, I could not miss the sweet voice of Diana Krall here on the plateau Taratata :
Curiosity finally, a cover of The Boy from Ipanema by Crystal Waters . And yes, the one who sang Gypsy Woman, " La la lee la la ... .
