João Gilberto & Chega De Saudade: Two Original Albums (EU Press) - João Gilberto (Vinyl) (BD)

This vinyl LP features Chega de Saudade and João Gilberto, two original albums by João Gilberto, the artist who introduced the bossa nova style in 1957. His innovative guitar rhythm and understated vocal approach caused a sensation in Rio de Janeiro’s Zona Sul, inspiring a generation of young musicians. Bossa nova was first heard on record in 1958 with “Chega de Saudade,” composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes. Prior to releasing his own version, Gilberto had accompanied singer Elizeth Cardoso as guitarist on an earlier recording of the song. Shortly afterward, he recorded “Chega de Saudade” as his debut single, fully showcasing his new style. The success of this recording led to the release of the 1959 LP Chega de Saudade, which launched João Gilberto’s career and sparked the worldwide bossa nova movement.
