o cantadorJoyce e Dori Caymmi
The title “cantador” means a singer who sings the songs of the land.
This is common in bossa nova lyrics, but the meanings of the Portuguese and English lyrics are completely different.
The English version is about how the singer loves you so much, while the Portuguese version has deep lyrics that seem to sing about the singer’s life.
Chega de SaudadeMoreno Romagnoli
The Japanese title is “Overflowing Thoughts.” This song conveys the idea that we no longer need sorrow and that we should return to our hometown and live happily.
The “saudade” in the title is said to be very close in meaning to what “the blues” is for African Americans.
Although the piece is in a minor key, a highlight may be the section where it shifts into a major key.
Samba do AviãoNaomi & Goro
A song by Antônio Carlos Jobim that exemplifies bossa nova in every respect—tempo, melody, and rhythm.
As the title “Samba do Avião” suggests, it’s a piece themed around airplanes.
Its effortless, breezy feel makes it perfect as background music.
Naomi & Goro also create other stylish tracks that are ideal for BGM.
Vivo sonhandoStacey Kent
Stacey Kent sings in various languages such as English, Spanish, and French.
This song is sung in English and its English title is “Dreamer.” Her gentle voice feels like a perfect fit for a hair salon with many female customers.
Para Machucar Meu CoraçãoStan Getz & Joao Gilberto
This is a track from the classic album Getz/Gilberto, known for Stan Getz and João Gilberto.
The fusion of jazz and bossa nova gives it a stylish vibe.
It might not be widely known to the general public, but among bossa nova artists, it’s famous enough that if you’re unsure what to include in your repertoire, you pick this song.
