João Gilberto - Cordeiro De Nana (1981)

This amazing song was "adapted from a slave hymn, a prayer to a deified ancestor goddess who comes in the form of Nana, a wise, elderly woman." The original is by Os Tincoãs, who recorded their version in 1977. For years I had no idea what this song was about, thinking it was almost a lullaby. The lyrics are powerful, and João Gilberto is fabulous as always.

Quero contar o sofrimento que eu passei sem razão (I want to tell the suffering I went through without reason)

“Astrud Gilberto was just the wife of singing star João Gilberto when she entered a NYC studio in March 1963. João and Jobim were making a record with tenor saxman Stan Getz. The idea of cutting a verse on “Ipanema” in English came up, and Astrud was the only one of the Brazilians who spoke more than phrasebook English.

Astrud’s child-like vocal, devoid of vibrato and singerly mannerisms, was the perfect foil for her husband’s soft bumblebee voice. Jobim tinkled piano. Getz blew a creamy smooth tenor. Four minutes of magic went to tape.” - [x]

Brazilian Bossa Nova singer Astrud Gilberto (born Astrud Evangelina Weinert; 29 March 1940 – 5 June 2023), pictured with her first husband and sometimes duet partner João Gilberto in the 1960s.

Wow. I never thought I’d be back on this site. Well let’s get this show on the road shall we ?

Hi, this is Viagem Ao Brasil. This page is my love letter to Brazil, yes the country. My love story began around 2017. I heard my first Bossa Nova song by Sant Getz. The Girl From Inpanema. I can still hear it “ Tall And Tanned and Young And Lovely…..”. Classic! Once this song hit my ears I knew right away that had to find out more about the origin of this song. One thing lead to another and here we are. Now, I’m studying the language, culture, the people and lifestyle. My goal for this page is to share my love for this county. At some point I want to visit Brazil too! This page is made from love and deep respect for Brazil. I’ll be post my resources for language learning and anything talking about Brazil. I’m so excited to get started. So let’s go !
