Music > Putumayo
On New Orleans Christmas, Putumayo has captured the unique and
vibrant voice of this city with a collection of holiday favorites
decked in the blues, jazz and swing flavors for which the Crescent
City is famous. Featuring Heritage Hall Jazz Band, Ellis Marsalis
and Topsy Chapman.
Putumayo's Brazilian Caf is an enchanting addition to its Caf
series. Brazilian Caf brings together a captivating selection of
samba, bossa nova and jazz by Brazilian stars and up-and-coming
talents. In the early 1960s, legendary Brazilian composers Antnio
Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes hung out in an Ipanema
beachside caf where they would often see a beautiful neighborhood
girl, Hel Pinheiro, walk by. She became the inspiration for one of
the most popular songs of all time, Girl From Ipanema. The global
bossa nova boom can be traced to that moment of musical inspiration
at a Brazilian caf and most of the artists on this CD drew
inspiration from Jobim, de Moraes and other songwriters who
followed.
