We commemorate the wonderful João Gilberto.
João Gilberto was one of the most important figures in Brazilian music and the grandmaster of bossa nova. His first and only approved live video was taped in November 2006 at the age of 75 in Tokyo. It was released in Japan in 2019, two months before his death on 6 July 2019 (please keep in mind: upcoming commemoration day, 6 July 2020).
The TV programme “Joao Gilberto - Live in Tokyo” contains a total of 21 songs include the famous “Garota de Ipanema (The Girl from Ipanema)”, and “Desafinado (Slightly Out of Tune)”, as well as valuable first-time-recorded numbers such as “Pica-pau (Woodpecker)”, “Treze de Ouro (Thirteen Gold)” and more.
