[VIDEO ESSAY] The pure delight of hearing Bossa Nova played on nylon-stringed guitars by veteran masters of the music, is more than sufficient reason to learn about this relatively young music's vibrant history. Go to Full Review

07/08/2020 AMAZING ! It inspired me to write: Por momentos me desconecto Veo una serie Me meto en la historia Río, después de días Me siento libre Veo los sueños de Maria Luiza La pasión de Ligia La lucha de Adela Ese sentimiento, esas emociones, ese ingrediente puro de esencia humana Me tocan el alma I love how they portrayed the 60s, the gender breach, racial issues, the perfection of the entanglement with the story and characters is indescribable! The beginning of a necessary feminism, no doubt. Everyone should watch it to peek through a window just 50 years ago and see how long we've come but yet still have to keep going. See more crdaig b 05/09/2018 This is essential viewing for anyone who loves bossa nova. It is an intimate view of the history of this wonderful music, lovingly presented by the people who were there at its core. One of the many highlights of this documentary is a talk and performance by Tom Jobim's son, Paulo. There is plenty of music to enjoy here, though rarely is an entire song played (For that see the fantastic DVDs: 'Tom Jobim: Waters Of March'; also 'Tom Jobim: No More Blues'). I only wish the legendary João Gilberto, who is still alive, was interviewed for this charming documentary. See more 10/20/2008 Very good documentary about the birth of bossa-nova.
