In episode #53 we celebrate the album "Matita Perê" by Tom Jobim, released in May 1973 by Philips. Considered one of the inventors of bossa-nova, Jobim had astronomical success in Brazil and abroad (especially the USA), so for this album, he decided to explore new territories. Produced and arranged by German composer Claus Ogerman, he came up with a complex mix of nature-inspired sounds, Brazilian roots, and erudite music, all encapsulated by the poetry of Guimarães Rosa, although the opening is quite literally a bossa-nova classic: "Águas de Março". The album was released as "Jobim" for the international market, by MCA Records, and also with a different cover. Follow our playlist on Spotify: "Soundtrack: Brazuca Sounds".
