o Josh tem um carinho muito grande com seus covers, tipo Eleanor Rigby é um dos melhores covers dele porque ele traz várias dinâmicas e transforma a atmosfera da música no jeito que ele quer Ele faz isso com esse, figurino, cor, saturação, a estética inteira. é muito bom ver algo assim da nossa cultura
I always find it impressive how Josh is able to sing so many songs in so many different languages while still having good pronunciation. This is not an easy song to sing, especially if you are not a fluent Portuguese speaker, but him and Martina absolutely nailed it!
Choral singer here - once you've been trained on common characteristic sounds of romance languages and have a few songs under your belt, you can work up a decent pronunciation reasonably quickly - much more quickly than it would take to fully learn the language! A little familiarity with the International Phonetic Alphabet helps here too. Josh has college a capella background so I'm not surprised he pulls off the Portuguese well!
As an Argentinian that admires and plays Brazilian music, and lived decades in the US, I was delighted to hear this rendition and to see that Bossa is not dead there :) My hat off to you Josh!
Eh-hmmm, it is Samba de Verão composed by Marcos Valle and original lyrics by his brother Paulo Sérgio Valle. The dodgy bolt-on English lyrics and wrong names were assigned by American lyricist Norman Gimbel. Why the beef? Because with virtually no exception, the English lyrics are crappy lightweight bolt-on shoe-horned lyrics which typically have nothing to do with the original lyrics. The greatness of the tunes are stripped down, dumbed down, without the poetic gravitas of the original intention. That is if the lyrics have anything to do with the original lyrics. Those are the worst and most unforgivable lyrics in English. Harrumph.
As a non-Portuguese speaker myself, I just love how it sounds when it's sung. This crazy song captivates the first time you hear it and stays w you forever. It sounds like springtime and everything is hopeful. Great great version, thank you.
Thanks for this beautiful description. Let me add that the lyrics are ushering Autumn since it says that the waters of March are closing the Summer (in the Southern hemisphere). Although with the promise of life in the heart.
In Bossa Nova not only the lirycs but the rhythm and harmonies also tells a story. This song sounds uplifting and refreshing whilst the liryc is a bit dark. In a way it describes the aftermath of floods and landslides commonly caused by the rains in that time of the year. It's a tough time but it reminds the power people have to rebuild themselves. At leat that's my take on that song.
@@avisoaosnavegantes2021 , mais ou menos. "É o carro enguiçado, é a lama, é a lama" está falando, sim, das chuvas torrenciais. Mas também não acho que é "dark". Acho que o tema central é a construção da casa que Tom Jobim tinha na roça e que acho que ficou pronta em março. E as águas de março vieram junto com a festa da cumeeira.
@@ademariojunior Você tem toda a liberdade de entender a letra com quiser, isso faz parte. Mas ele fala de uma caminhada pela Mata Atlântica, por uma pequena parte dessa floresta - e ele compara essa caminhada à vida. Ou seja, observar os detalhes e objetos dessa caminhada é como ver os detalhes e fatos de uma vida. Também há metalinguagem no texto - o processo de feitura dos versos se compara ao que ele vê pelo caminho dessas trilhas. Resumindo - ele está caminhando por trilhas e revê sua vida ali, a vida que teve e que terá; a construção e o fim das coisas. Nada tem a ver com enxurradas ou deslizamentos. O texto é filosófico/poético de uma experiência transcendental. Não quis parecer arrogante e tirano nisso, mas o que há na letra é isso, e/ou mais.
@@biasuzcaca04 é interessante como o brasileiro se sente homenageado quando um gringo de alguma maneira manifesta algo do Brasil. Se usar uma camisa da CBF então...
Hey Josh. Guitar heavy elementary music teacher here that's been following your channel for many moons. -Never commented, but I had the thought listening to this that you are literally a Mr. Roger's of music for adults. I just love all the special guests you have collaborated with over the years! Thanks for being a constant musical food for my soul. I have a big population of hispanic heritage children at my school and plan on letting this one rip as my older students walk in next week!
Josh's pronunciation gets better with each successive Brazilian cover. He even has a Brazilian vibe about him. Têm jeito de gringo morando no Rio pelos ultimos dez anos.
My favourite song and my favourite artist - I couldn't have asked for more - this is tied with Elis Regina's live TV performance for the best versions of this imo
So great! I love it when a singer's smile is audible.The way Josh falls back at the end reminds me of Jobim at the end of that black and white 1974 recording.
‘It’s the promise of life, it’s the joy in your heart.’ Josh, no matter the genre, style, instrumentation, language, texture, tone, everything you create brings joy! I can’t fully express how much I admire you and your collaborators. Thank you! ❤
That's perfect, brazilian here and you played this work of art very very very good, i'm happy for the good brazilian music stay arriving in other countries, because here i rarely see people hearing this songs, bossa nova is perfect
I'm Brazilian. I'm very happy for your effort to sing águas de março in portuguese. We know that it is very difficult, so we feel very happy when see foreigners speaking. Congrats
Is kind hard a brazilian artist made such huge success as Tom Jobim did in America. Thank you for this tribute. The Golden years of Brazil was well represented.
I have never seen a musician who can play so many differing genres as this marvellous artists-Josh Taylor.He can even sing in a different language then his natural tongue!A fantastic version of this classic song by the way.✌️
Another Brazilian here. Man, I was thrilled with this interpretation. I'm sure Tom Jobim and Elis Regina would applaud you for such resourcefulness and talent! What may call "mistakes" I call humanity. This song is an expression of Brazilianness. Touching her with "perfection" is easy. It isn’t easy to print a personality as you did. I shivered with your interpretation! Congratulations!

C'mon Josh... What can't you play... And sing? Amazing! ❤️
I didn't understand a word, but it doesn't matter. Watching and listening this performance was just...well, I can't describe it. That joy, that happiness... Wow, just wow. 🥰
Excelente Josh, excelente Martina, surpreenderam a todos nós brasileiros, ficou legal o português... Estou sempre acompanhando a evolução musical de vocês... Extensivo a Reina, Toni, Carson... E todas as outras parcerias... Parabéns !!!
My Josh! Your versatility in interpreting any type of music is amazing. Querido Josh, es increíble tu facilidad para adaptarte a cualquier estilo músical
Nice little "Samba de Verão" reference at the end of the trombone solo. Aguas de Março is one of my favorite all time songs, especially the Elis Regina and Tom Jobim version, and you both knocked it out of the park!
This is the first time I ever see an American singing in Pt w so clear pronunciation, I even felt like they were 2 Brazilian! Also, as a musician, I should say that his guitar Rhythm was pretty samba-like. When I was in the U.S I've heard other people saying Boss-Nova was a "Brazilian Jazz", bit when they played, it didn't sound like Bossa, it actually sounded like Jazz, so I realized that not everybody is sensitive enough to perceive and capture that details of the rhythmic nuances of Samba. You Josh in fact did it, your Swing was really identical! All the props!
I've loved this great Tom Jobim song for 30 years, struggled to play it myself; always impressed by its intricacy and that bassline, falling like water. Very humbled and blown away by the beauty you all bring to it. Thanks guys!
I've noticed that people are never ambivalent about this song: they either love it or hate it at first hearing. I have always loved it, and this is probably the best performance of it I've ever seen.
Vocês nasceram no Brasil? Não sei de que país vocês são, mas, com certeza são brasileiros em sua essência, cantaram muito bem, e souberam transmitir a alegria do jeito brasileiro de cantar. Parabéns! Desejo, sucesso, saúde, felicidade e prosperidade!
All around amazing, but what was really impressive to me was Josh's vocal delivery in a true "Joao's" bossa style. Velvety, airy flat baritone vibrato-less voice. Not to mention singing against that impeccable syncopated batida!!! Wooow
Not only did you guys do a great job, vocally and musically, on one of Tom's wonderfully woven nuanced songs, but you two supremely succeeded in achieving the most elusive prize; capturing the playful spirit of Elis and Tom's interplay of their very intimate and bittersweet version of this song.
This was amazing! Great vocals and chemistry between you two. It must have taken considerable work to not only play this, but sing in Portuguese. What a beautiful performance. All it needed was Stan Getz :)
Great job Josh, I´m from Brasil and i´m so proud to listen one of my favorite songs played so good with enthusiasm, lightness and joy. Congratulations for your portuguese words, even brazilian people has difficult to sing that full song correctly.
Wow,l've tried this theme for more than 12 ,this rendition is quite original,yet respectful...trombone bridge is out of this world...mr Turner ,ur voice and Martina's blend superbly...even the exchange emulating Mr Jobim and Ms Regina It's nothing but gourmet music... Greetings from Havana.
