JOBIM IN THREE DIMENSIONS: Bossa, Nature and Brazilian Rhythms

Antonio Carlos Jobim (Tom Jobim) was not just one of bossa nova's founding fathers; he was a composer whose work mirrors Brazil's multiple souls. This concert is an invitation to explore the richness and depth of his genius through three distinct sets, each dedicated to an essential dimension of his art:

1st Set: Love and Bossa Nova

This first set plunges into the heart of the sound that conquered the world: bossa nova. It is the Jobim of suave melodies, sophisticated harmonies, and the lulling rhythm evoking Carioca life, Rio de Janeiro's buzz, and above all, universal and timeless love stories. We'll explore emblematic standards celebrating that sweet nostalgia Brazilians call "saudade".

2nd Set: The Waters of March and Nature

In this second part, we leave Copacabana's drawing rooms to immerse ourselves in Brazil's wild and lush landscape. Jobim was deeply inspired by nature, particularly the Atlantic Forest and his country's landscapes. This set honors the ecologist Jobim before his time and the musician capable of translating natural elements into sound. From fine rains to winds, rivers to birds—his compositions become sonic paintings.

3rd Set: Other Rhythms and Deep Brazil

The final set highlights his ability to fuse rhythms and explore deeper roots of Brazilian music. We'll journey beyond bossa to discover choro, frevo, baião, and Afro-Brazilian rhythms nourishing his work. This finale celebrates Brazil's cultural diversity, inviting recognition of the musical wealth he left us.
