DESCRIPTION:
João Gilberto (10 June 1931 – 6 July 2019), was a Brazilian singer, songwriter, and guitarist, who was a pioneer of the musical genre of bossa nova in the late 1950s. Around the world he was often called "father of bossa nova"; in his native Brazil, he was referred to as "The Legend". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joao_Gilberto

Bossa nova is a style of Brazilian music, which was developed and popularized in the 1950s and 1960s and is today one of the best-known Brazilian music styles abroad. The phrase bossa nova means literally "new trend" or "new wave". A lyrical fusion of samba and jazz, bossa nova acquired a large following in the 1960s, initially among young musicians and college students. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bossa_nova

Released in the year of the singer's death (2019), João Gilberto - Live in Tokyo is a blu-ray that brings together 21 songs performed by the artist in a concert held on November 8 and 9, 2006, at Tokyo International Forum. This is a rare edition: the limited edition is only 5,000 copies and is sold exclusively in Japanese stores.

This is a historical record, as João Gilberto never allowed a show of his to be filmed so closely and sold at an official release. This is the only record of an official recording of João Gilberto's live show.

The perfection of music by the greatest genius of Brazilian music!
