As we all know, Bossa Nova is one of the most beautiful and versatile styles in the history of popular music. In 1958, the first record was released by the genius Joao Gilberto, who caused controversy and criticism within Brazilian society that initially opposed the new sound for being ¨anti-musical¨. The year 2008 celebrated 50 years of Bossa Nova and this wonderful collection begins with the theme Desafinado: a clear response to that criticism by duo Gilberto and Tom Jobim, perhaps the most important composers of this genre. With a list of groundbreaking performers (the aforementioned Gilberto and Jobim, Vinicius De Moraes, Maria Creuza, Astrud Gilberto, Caetano Veloso, Maria Bethania, EMCY Quartet, Gal Costa, Baden Powell, Milton Nascimento, Aracy Carvalho Gilberto Gil, Toquinho, Edu Lobo and Ivan Lins, among others), the Trilogy dedicated to Brazil is an important set that will satisfy even the most demanding audience. As always, with remastered sound and excellent artwork.
