2014 - Desafinado RITA PAYÉS Joan Chamorro quintet & Scott Hamilton 

No puedo creer lo que hace Andrea motis con la trompeta, por dios !!!! Su improvisación está fuera de este mundo, es simplemente magnífica !!!

Que piano!!, Que guitarra!!, que bajo!!, que saxo!!!, que batería!!, que voz!!, que trompeta!! , que delicia, que..... desafinado más afinado!!!

Joan Chamorro is probably the best thing that has happened in music in the last 30 years. Love you brother, Jim Lochead..

I am Brazilian. The work these young singers are showing is astounding.T his singer captures the very essence of this song, and she demonstrates this in the timbre, body movement, choice of tone, in every detail. Desafinado is a prank, sort of. Tom Jobim, one of the persons least out of tune on the planet, sings a song about a poor out-of-tune soul, who begs to be respected because "even an out-of-tune being does have a heart". Or "I photographed you with my Rolleiflex, and what we could see was your absolute ingratitude". It is humor at its best, and she gets it, and sings it. In bossa nova, the language, the sweet Brazilian Portuguese version of our common language, (Portugal´s Portuguese is beautiful in a very, very different way, and it would never work in bossa nova because bossa nova is all about joie de vivre, something our Portuguese brothers and sisters have less training for) IS part of the music. Our syllables are notes, and it really does not work in any other language, and that is why they go through the effort of singing in ours. Well, I would say the result is adorable, and it adds to our comprehension of our language. I love their interpretation of our consonants, and an surprised that our nasals, "ão" sounds present such a barrier to speakers of Catalan, or Spanish. And this means absolutely nothing, compared to the result they get. It is the song, in its intention, and brilliantly executed. I am Sprachloss!!!

Este video no me canso de verlo y oírlo, la voz de Rita es verdaderamente excepcional y más a la edad que tenía en ese entonces, creo 13 años, sin duda, lo mejor que ha tenido Chamorro en su grupo.

Tengo el famoso disco de Getz/Gilberto/Jobim (¡en vinilo, CD y casete!) y este quinteto no desmerece en nada a su grabación. Rita tiene una voz preciosa.

I don't get it. I'm 72-years old, and I just can't fathom where these young performers get this kind of talent... their degree of technique, their depth of feeling, and to so easily keep up with these world-class players, it's just beyond my imagination. When I was a teenager, I was getting busted by the cops for being high on LSD. In the city where I live, rap music is king, but it is just pathetic garbage being sold as "music." It isn't. THIS is music. When I die, I can rest easy, knowing that music is in good hands.

Спасибо тебе, Бразилия за такую чудесную молодежь! I wanna thank Brazil for such fantastic young singers!

My favorite rendition of this wonderful song!

Rita's one of the kind vocals already emerging here, in the Latin and related music she's got no equals. No one is as flexible and subtle as she.

I am Japanese. While searching for Someday My Prince Will Come on youtube, I encountered Joan Chamorro quintet. I like JAZZ but it became comfortable as soon as I heard it. Today was a very good day.

I thank Antonio C Jobim , S. Mendes, Joao and Astrud Gilberto and all others who left this legacy for Humanity to enjoy and share. And to this quintet too, of course. Thanks , and the Gods Bless.

I believe Rita was 14 when this was recorded. Amazing!

Todo el Género Bossa Nova Jazz es muy Bello.

WHY, OH WHY have I not heard of this group before? My life was wasted.

What to say? Magnificent. Six years on the music and the performance does not diminish with time. These musicians and their performances are surviving the test of time. They absolutely deserve to

6 years on and i still love this piece. Rita didnt know then how good she was

How on God’s green earth is Catalunya producing such magnificent you Bossa singers and players? And sprinkled amongst them are old heaviesthat fit right in. This is where the joy is!

Extraordinaria voz de Rita Payes acompañada de grandes músicos. Siempre fui admirador del "Bossa Nova" Era asiduo concurrente a "La Fusa" de Punta del Este a fines de los 60 y comienzos de los 70. Tuve el gusto de escuchar a Tom Jovim; Vinicius de Moraes; Toquinho; María Creuza; María Bethánia; Chico Buarque de Hollanda y varios referentes de la mejor música brasileña. Esta joven Rita Payes, es sin ninguna duda, una magnífica intérprete con el "Trombón de Vara" también. Creo que ella tiene un gran futuro; me encanta su talento y su voz ideal para este "estilo"; más allá de su belleza personal que también admiro. Un gran saludo para ella y sus compañeros, con todo respeto de este Abuelo Uruguayo de 70 años gran admirador de Brasil, su música y sus Maestros e Intérpretes.

I’m 77years old and I have heard jazz, but this is the best version of this I have heard. Simply the best! Thank you💞

This is a killer rendition. Rita is so rhythmically inventive, breathing new life into something in danger of becoming a musical cliche, and as only a young new musical soul can. Props to Joan Chamorro for being a serial nurturer of young jazz talent, first with Andrea Motis (see her admirable Desafinado when she was Rita's age, classic, mature), then Rita and a string of others after. Props also to Scott Hamilton, clearly having a great time, and causing Joan to call out appreciatively in the middle of his solo. Rita's career starts on a high here and just goes up.

Scott Hamilton！！！　ブラジル音楽に祝福あれ

Thank You Joan Chamorro for not only great music, but for what you are teaching these young musical geniuses. The world is a better place because of you!

Llegué aquí, porque hoy tuve una clase teórica de Jazz y nos hicieron escuchar esta presentación..simplemente me encantó.

Rita´s phrasing is audacious but she is getting away with it because it´s brilliant. I wanted to see her in Germany this year but because of Coraina I couldn´t find any one to drive. May be next year? I have been playing bossa nova for fourty years now and it is not getting boring at all. Thanx a lot dear Rita..........

Memorável, Rita Payés!

Rita's voice is so fresh and confident, the best cover ever! (I still listen almost daily). Still can't believe she was around 14 years old at that time

Greetings from the Island Republic of Mauritius, in the South of the Indian Ocean, superb music. Thank you all. Gods Bless.

Rita Payes has unbelievable talent. She was only about 15 years old here. And look at Joan Chamorro in the background. He is glowing with pride in his students who reflect all the love and care he has obviously given to them. Gives me hope that there is still good in the world. Thank you.

Rita added such a sweet softness - she made it hers 👏

El problema, con esta fantástica escuela de música es de saber quien es mejor que los otros, porque todos son extraordinarios. No he tenido la suerte de ser ensenado así porque soy ahora mayor et en los anos cincuenta estas escuelas no existaban Joan, eres un ejemplo para el mundo entero. Ver estas chiquitinas tocar esta música es un increíble placer. Gracias a todos y todas. Un viejo músico frances

Sou brasileiro e 69 anos A interpretação é singular, porque a cantora da a voz a particularidade do sentido da palavra. Ela interpreta como se fosse brasileira nata. Fantástico.

86 dislikes? These are amazing musicians with real soul and talent. How can anyone not be moved by this? I found this band by accident and so glad I did. Jazz is alive and well in Catalonia. Praise be ...

Rita Payés has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. I never tire of listening to these artists.

Adoro essas barcelonenses cantando maravilhosamente música brasileira e com muita bossa. E esses músicos! Curto demasiadamente.

Me encanta esa música. Gracias. Saludos desde Guadalajara (México)

This is so good that sometimes I applaud my computer screen, even tho there is no one to hear. Wonderful performance !

Si je continue d'écouter cette voix angélique je vais tomber amoureux de Rita Payés tout en sachant que c'est un amour impossible

Meu Deus, que incrivel que vocês são. Me sinto tão orgulhoso de ouvir uma musica brasileira na voz e que musicos perfeitos. Uma grande abraço de um brasileiro que ama a musicalidade de vocês. ❤

Never tired of listening to this. Thank you, Mr. Chamorro! 🙏🏻💗

Uno nunca se cansa de escuchar a cualquier de los "cachorros" de Joan Chamorro. Una vez más, gracias maestro por ese trabajo impagable.

I love the music 🎶! The trumpet 🎺 the sax 🎷 and the singing too love ❤️ from Delaware, USA 🇺🇸

La mejor versión de desafinado en la dulce voz de Rita y la dirección del elenco del maestro Joan Chamorro me encantó

❤ Big fan here, Rita! Thanks for keeping jazz alive and well!

whouhahou!! avec une telle rythmique, rien d'étonnant à ce que Rita nous emporte dans cette Bossa de rêve. Sa voix est faite pour ça. Scott Hamilton dans son chorus plein de clins d'oeil au regretté Stan Getz et le solo d'Andrea parfait bravo

Wow! First Andrea stole my soul... And now Rita Payes stole my ❤️.. i am in heaven listening to these ladies.

I came across this video by accident & now I can`t get enough of listening to these super gifted & talented singers and musicians! I am now a subscriber even though I don`t understand the words when these lovely girls are singing but it doesn`t matter because their voices are so beautiful! Joan Chamorro & Rita Payes & the Musicians are Totally Awesome!

Scott Hamilton invariably delivers such beautiful solos!

Brings me back to the 60's and the Getz-Gilberto Bossa Nova craze!

The performers show a closeness like they are a family.

Bossa nova is fenomenal style from Brazil, saks, and other instruments are excelent, I adore such music, I come from Croatia, my father was musician, and I learned with him many good vibrations.

THANK YOU, JOAN CHAMORRO, SCOTT HAMILTON, JOSEP TRAVER, ESTEVE PI BATERIA, IGNASI TERRAZA, RITA PAYES, AND ANDREA MOTIS FOR GIVING US SUCH WONDERFUL MUSIC ANY TIME WE WANT TO LISTEN. THIS IS A GREAT CD. SYLVIA - FL-09/30/2019

Wow! I could listen to this endlessly, and to think these are still teenagers. Many thanks to the adults for mentoring these amazing young musicians.

Que bueno y que ganas de ver en vivo un concierto de este quinteto.

😳 !! Que bella y que bien canta !! Me gusta mucho ese ritmo de bossa nova en portugués, muy buena !! 😋🇦🇷😍

I am watching again. I am blown away! Such beautiful young talent!

Super RITA !!,,,Besito

I'm slowly watching all the videos, my (You tube) is plugged solid with Joan Chamorro jazz..lol..2.3 Million awesome..

This is the best version of this song in existence. Everybody is at the top of their game. The swingy bossa nova beat by Esteve Pi is amazing. The lyrics to the song mention "swinging the bossa nova". And the rest of the rhythm section is solid as can be. Cannot say enough about each player! Add the great solos by Scott and Andrea... Then the amazing interpretation by Rita on vocals. She hangs back on the beat giving it an other worldly relaxed feel, but never draggy. And then the recording is so crisp. You can hear every single instrument. The sound people did a great job as well. I can listen this over and over and over. The chords to the bridge seem correct to me. Some Americanized versions have wrong chords, plus some (original Real Book 1) are missing 4 entire measures of the bridge! But this! Wow! Everything so perfect! What a great interpretation!!!

This was my introduction to Joan Chamorro's world of amazing young musicians, several years back. and I came across it again tonight. Still sounds great. Amazing how far many of them have come.

RITA PAYES ESTAS HERMOSA Y CANTAS GENIAL SOY TU FAN!! SALUDOS DESDE IXTAPALUCA MEXICO!!

You can already hear the character and quality of fourteen year old Rita's voice! It has only gotten better over time!

Tom Jobim would be so proud! as a Brazilian, i'm also so proud of this version! amazing! her accent brings a colorful plus! it s so beautiful the whole band! congratulations great musicians!

09-16-20: Oh my goodness, this is CRAZY WONDERFUL!! Please come to the United States, preferably California. I'd love to see these young talented individuals perform live. I've been sharing the videos I've been watching lately with ALL my friends on social media and they are loving it!! Out of the clear blue, here they came, just from my searching bossa nova music on RU-vid. I'm so glad I did. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! (Oh meu Deus, isso é LOUCO MARAVILHOSO !! Venha para os Estados Unidos, de preferência para a Califórnia. Eu adoraria ver esses jovens talentosos se apresentarem ao vivo. Tenho partilhado os vídeos que tenho visto ultimamente com TODOS os meus amigos nas redes sociais e eles estão a adorar !! Do nada, lá vieram eles, apenas da minha pesquisa de música bossa nova no RU-vid. Estou tão feliz por ter feito isso. AMOR, AMOR, AME !!)

I love how Joan Chamorro constantly checks up on comments on all his videos , thank you for being there and for blessing us with such beautiful music Mr.Chamorro, lots of love from Chicago !

Rita Has A Strong Voice Loaded With Octaves.

Love That Bossa Nova Beat, Scott And the Girls are Great ! Ron From New Jersey USA

Holy smoke. She cut thru that like a razor. Nice combo too.

O que mais posso dizer ao ouvir essa boa música brasileira com esse "sotaque" maravilhoso? Simplesmente espetacular!!!!!

Todo vuelve, aunque no siempre vuelve bien. Joan Chamorro y su gente demuestran que los grandes clásicos del jazz y la bossa pueden volver rozando la excelencia. Muchas gracias por su trabajo.

Let's be clear - these kids are amazing - simply amazing. I've got bookmarked - and have forwarded out a ton of videos to friends & family. Thank you Joan C. Please let the kids know that they're loved & appreciated.

outstanding feels for bossanova,teardrops run flat from my face,thank you for this outstanding moments!

Listening while I work quietly inside today. Great number, love it. Hope Scott is doing well, a greeting from a senior carpenter to a senior musician. Joan and band and guests, a very good year to all. Wish I had some of Spain's recent snow. This old guy loves to cross country ski and believe it or not - love to shovel snow! Great workout in the cold beautiful white winter.

Eu, como brasileiro fico encantado e emocionado ao ouvir essa menina cantando essa música de João Gilberto, ela canta com um português perfeito e um lindo sotaque, parabéns!

Que linda voz de Rita. La amo, quee obra maestra de Joan y los integrantes, es una dulzura escuchar edta cancion las veces que sea

Oh my GOD, this song is, really sultry my, my, I can't understand yet, I somehow can, if that makes sense. You guys are the future of jazz I can't stop now that I've found you-all Hats off LADY'S YOUR ALL WONDERFUL.

Rita Payes magistral interpretacion

I've probably listed to this 30-40 times

Maravilhoso! O Brasil infelizmente saiu de uma cultura Incrivel e caiu em decadencia musical....

Que buen grupo Joan Chamorro, felicitaciones desde LIMA-PERÚ.

Very well played guys. Rita is, like Andrea and Alba, a great performer with a special talent. And last but not least, i love your happy face when you are playing Joan.

Obrigado Joan Chamorro, por divulgar o melhor da música brasileira.

Divinamente divino!!! É o tipo de pureza musical (voz e instrumental) que a gente ouve esperando que não tenha fim!

Good music... good night...from Japan

Joan, Thanks for all your contributions as an instructor and band leader. Beautiful rendition of Desafinado.

HELP!!! my ears, heart and soul are being held captive by this group

How can she be THAT BRILLIANT? There is no doubt that she has an unfair ammount of talent and I bet there is also a ton of hard work involved. Yet she makes it feel so effortless. It's like jazz is flowing in her veins. I don't speak the language of the song yet I feel like I understand the whole meaning. She speaks the most beautifull language of all - the music - that good that even I can understand it.

Nosso amado Antônio Carlos Jobim...... o melhor de todos! " que no peito dos desafinados também bate um coração ". Eterno Compositor Brasileiro, Internacional.

Beautiful! Everyone sounds great and the recording engineer is really good!

La musica brasileña se viste de " gala" con esa dulce voz es muy agradable escucharla, te infunde paz , sosiego y tambien baile. Saludos desde PERU.

No one plays boss nova better than you. Very cool, with a soul. I'm listening to you from Russia.

Fabulous performance by Rita. I've heard "Desafinado" thousands of times, but Rita puts an amazing spin on the delivery of "o que Deus me deu" that is rhythmically unique. Great work, young lady. And Scott is fantastic, getting a lot of 21st Century exposure from Joan and company.

Rita Payés ... quelle voix et un naturel ! accompagnée par un magnifique quintet avec une mention particulière pour les "piliers" que sont I. TERRAZA, S. HAMILTON ET J. TRAVER et bien sur Maitre J. chamorro.J'ADORE.

Wonderful Rita.., and also all the group member. Thanks.

Ese duo de voces entre Rita y Andrea es perfecto. Solo falta Alba Armengou y es estar en cielo, en especial con esos musicos que las rodean

IGNASI TERRAZO IS A REMARKABLE PIANO PLAYER. HE NEVER MISSES A KEY AND KEEPS THE TIMING PERFECTLY. I LOVE HIS MUSIC . SYLVIA! FL 6/2/2020

Amazing Rita. She looks so relaxed and laid back when she's singing, but every phrase and note hits the spot with precision. That's talent!

Блестяща незабравима и талантлива. Благодарност прегръдки от България

I hope Rita reads the messages here praising her singing because she deserves them all. Rita, you can caress a jazz theme with your voice in a way akin to all the best female vocalists. And you're an accomplished trombonist. You should understand that there are good reasons why you can attract over 400,000 hits for one track alone!.

I cant die yet.... How dare you people make me now put you guys on my bucket list. Look I only have so much money and live in a country down under called New Zealand.... I say it again, sad for me 😢
