João Gilberto, the musical genious that created the Bossa Nova rhythm together with Tom Jobim in the 1950'ies. A beautyfull song by Pixuinguinha.
In his own words:
"You must not injure silence, for it is sacred."
João Gilberto's silence is never broken. Gently and simply he places his voice atop the fragile silence. The silence holds.
From his site:
João Gilberto's voice is weightless, its depth infinite; it is haunting, haunted, insular. He hears as we do not, hears things we do not. Not only things outside our awareness (the construction equipment on the next street, the air conditioner in the studio)--but the possibility of sounds we cannot imagine. And he teaches us the sound of stillness."
