2015 Àguas de março SANT ANDREU JAZZ BAND ALBA ARMENGOU RITA PAYES JOEL FRAHM JOAN CHAMORRO dirc 

The fact that they are not Brazilian but Catalans and sing in Portuguese with slight accent makes it even more charming. Congratulations!

I wish my high school concerts sounded like this

Es muy emocionante ver nuestra música brasileña tan bien representada, maravilla niñas...que Dios las bendiga. Un fuerte abrazo desde Brasil.

Every once in a while I return to this video. I truly think this is my favorite rendition of any song, ever. They're having so much fun singing it that I shed tears in joy

Sou do Brasil e me senti totalmente representado e honrado com essa apresentação de vocês. E ainda mais por as meninas cantarem se divertindo, pq essa é a intenção dessa música, você canta ela com um sorriso no rosto. Meus parabéns 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is Joel Frahm here. I can’t tell you how proud I am of having been asked to play with Joan and all of his marvelous young musicians. This particular performance brings tears to my eyes every single time I’ve heard it. The attention to detail paid by the band and vocalists is second to none. The joy and emotion in tandem with the hard work they’ve put in makes them an ensemble like no other I’ve encountered. Bravo to Joan and all of the musicians that have gone through this band.

One day as a teen, I saw a commercial on Adult Swim. Sealab 2021. I didn't know the song, but i loved that commercial. Years later popped in my head and I hit the Google. Finally had the name of song and artist. Then found a video of Elis Regina & Tom Jobim singing it. It made me Smile. Came back years later while re-watching the episode of Archer when they go on a mission to a underWATER laboratory. This video popped up after Elis and Tom video in the suggestions. I can say 1. This made me wish I got to play this back in high school band(class of '03) 2. I smiled again.

This is the single most infectiously happy video on the internet, in every way. Seen it a thousand times and I still walk away with a huge smile on my face.

Sometimes I think the Portuguese language is the most beautiful in the world.

I do not know who is the luckiest. The young people for having Mr Chamorro to teach them or Mr Chamorro for having so much obvious fun conducting these wonderful young people. Or me for being able to watch, listen and totally enjoy all of them.

This recording is beautiful; the song, the singers, and everyone involved created magic that night. Alba, with childlike earnestness and beautiful voice paired so well with Rita, who countered with a relaxed and benevolent sense of fun. Each girl was seen to influence the other's performance, in the moment, and beams of joy passed between them. The song was new to me until a week ago, and like so many others I fell in love with it. I love the 1974 version with Jobim and Regina for some of the same reasons: the elements of both contrast and rapport are present. They seemed like dear friends, but it has been said that she did not really like him.

Me enche de orgulho ver jovens estrangeiros fazendo tão lindamente músicas populares brasileiras da mais qualidade. Infelizmente nós não o fazemos há tempos.

Who else got goosebumps while listening to this awesome performance? Furthermore, the 2 girls were laughing all the time while singing in addition to the saxophonist behind them! So adorable!

you can actually hear the fun they have in their voices.

Lindas, a bossa nova nos deixa alegres e emotivos ao mesmo tempo, todo sucesso para estas meninas 🇧🇷🇪🇸

Sant Andreu Jazz Band is high on my list of Things That Are Right With The World.

This is my first comment in more than 10 years of abstaining myself of giving opinions in Social Media, but this work is so special that definitely the world is going to be a better place when this young generation will grow up. Good job Conductor !!

It makes me SO happy that young people not only remember and appreciate these classics, but breathe new life into them with their energy, enthusiasm and talent

This Is Absolute Pure Genius. These Young People Are Amazing!!! I Was Stunned The First Time I Heard This. In fact, I Was Busy Working, I Wasn't Even Watching. It Sounded SO Good, I Had To Drop Everything I was Doing To Go Watch The Video. All I Can Say Is.......DAMN!!!! GREAT PERFORMANCE. BRAVO!!! 🥂

A música brasileira é uma verdeira obra de arte!

SENSACIONAL!!!!!! Essa música é dificílima de ser cantada e as meninas foram perfeitas até a última sílaba!!

IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD has there ever been a greater concentration of talent than what was on this stage for this concert? It's like a Manhattan Project for music, good will and healing.

This band brought me to a wonderful appreciation and exploration of Brazilian music and to the discovery of Rita Payes, Elisabeth Roma, Carminho, and many other beautiful artists. It is amazing that these musicians from Spain have taken me on this journey.

The saxophonist's face at 3:51 portrays what I felt listening to this master piece. The musicians are great, but these girls' performance is amazing

This performance is one of the most beautiful things on the internet!

3:54 the conductor has the smile of knowing all is perfect in the world at that moment.

Imagina Tom Jobim vendo e ouvindo isso , show

After 2 years of finding this video, this is still my favorite sax solo of all time.

English Lyrics: Águas de Março (English: "The Waters of March") is a Brazilian song composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim in 1972. The lyrics, originally written in Portuguese, do not tell a story, but rather present a series of images that form a collage; nearly every line starts with "É..." ("It is..."). The inspiration for "Águas de Março" came from Rio de Janeiro's rainiest month, March, with heavy rain that causes flooding in many places around the city. The lyrics and the music have a constant downward progression much like the water torrents flowing in the gutters of Rio de Janeiro in March, typically carrying sticks, stones, bits of glass, and almost everything and anything. Jobim also wrote this version of the lyrics in English: A stick, a stone It's the end of the road It's the rest of a stump It's a little alone It's a sliver of glass It is life, it's the sun It is night, it is death It's a trap, it's a gun The oak when it blooms A fox in the brush A knot in the wood The song of a thrush The wood of the wind A cliff, a fall A scratch, a lump It is nothing at all It's the wind blowing free It's the end of the slope It's a beam, it's a void It's a hunch, it's a hope And the river bank talks Of the waters of March It's the end of the strain The joy in your heart The foot, the ground The flesh and the bone The beat of the road A slingshot's stone A fish, a flash A silvery glow A fight, a bet The range of a bow The bed of the well The end of the line The dismay in the face It's a loss, it's a find A spear, a spike A point, a nail A drip, a drop The end of the tale A truckload of bricks In the soft morning light The shot of a gun In the dead of the night A mile, a must A thrust, a bump It's a girl, it's a rhyme It's a cold, it's the mumps The plan of the house The body in bed And the car that got stuck It's the mud, it's the mud Afloat, adrift A flight, a wing A hawk, a quail The promise of spring And the riverbank talks Of the waters of March It's the promise of life It's the joy in your heart A stick, a stone It's the end of the road It's the rest of a stump It's a little alone A snake, a stick It is John, it is Joe It's a thorn in your hand And a cut in your toe A point, a grain A bee, a bite A blink, a buzzard A sudden stroke of night A pin, a needle A sting, a pain A snail, a riddle A wasp, a stain A pass in the mountains A horse and a mule In the distance the shelves Rode three shadows of blue And the riverbank talks Of the waters of March It's the promise of life In your heart, in your heart A stick, a stone The end of the road The rest of a stump A lonesome road A sliver of glass A life, the sun A knife, a death The end of the run And the riverbank talks Of the waters of March It's the end of all strain It's the joy in your heart

I don't think any place that cherishes music gives young people as much chance to advance and explore music like Joan Chamorro jazz band. I will never have enough of your music and excitement of amazing young players.

oh man that sax solo, every note is beautiful

Elis Regina see this And is happy. Definitly.. R. I. P

Two wonderful singers having fun, Maestro Chamorro directing the band, the muted trumpets in the background, Joel Frahm's classy sax solo, Magali working that bass! When you put it all together you get excellence!

The first time I listened to "Waters Of March" was in 1974, by Sergio Mendes. The second time was with Basia. The third time was with Akiko and Corrine Drewery (Swing Out Sister). And now this wonderful performance. There's something special about listening to an orchestral symphony. The sound quality of this performance is beautiful to hear, especially when they're performing "Waters Of March".

This song has one single problem: it ends. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

ES DIFICIL VER GENERACIONES DE JOVENCITOS TOCANDO BOSSA NOVA, JAZZ Y CANTANDO DE ESA MANERA TAN BELLA ESTA MUSICA TAN HERMOSA FELICIDADES CHICOS BRAVOOO A USTEDES A SUS MAESTROS Y DIRECTOR VIVA BRASIL!!!💖🇲🇽🇧🇷💖

Absolutely amazing,the vocal duet and the tenor solo,the orchestra and the arrangements...the Barcelona school of Jazz...Viva Joan!

Thank you to Joan Chamorro for bringing the next generation of brilliant musicians to fruition. I've been following the musical growth of Rita Payes on RU-vid, and her current collaborations with her mother are exceptionally good.

They play really cool and i really love this song. Respect from Malaysia 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

I discovered Joan Chamorro a few weeks ago after watching one of Andrea Motis' songs on RU-vid (Lullaby of Birdland). I was totally blown away! The superb musicality of the youngsters and older musicians made me realise what true musicians are. Since then I've watched many of the videos, and I have found my love of jazz rekindled! This video is the best of them all. Everything id perfect. Two beautiful young ladies who are obviously having great fun, surrounded by their fellow youngsters playing at top, top quality. Accompanied by Joan and Joel they produce the most uplifting song I have ever heard! The faces of all of them show such happiness and pleasure, each appreciating the others talent. I always come away from this video saying "Wonderful, simply wonderful",. I have been through some hard times lately, and this video never fails to lift my spirit and remind me about how to appreciate what I have. When you see some of the trash paraded as talent these days, these ladies don't need to prance about the stage dressed like.. well you know what, they are superbly talented. Joan, you deserve a medal!!

I can't stop listening to these magically charming kids... I get teared eyed every time I do. This genius song has a lot of great versions recorded of it already... But these teenagers! They are having so much innocent musical fun with it that can't ever be matched by adults. Mr. Chamorro has created the most incredible musical playground and an education center for kids who express themselves musically on an astonishing high level. Where did he get so many talented ones, only god knows... And how he finds the energy to demand and achieve such high level, is unexplainable.

I can't imagine how incredibly proud their parents, teacher and community are. Incredible talent; much needed brightness for the future of humanity.

Eu. Como sou Brasileiro fiquei emocionado de ouvir suas vozes interpretando aguas de março, lindo um verdadeiro espetáculo toda a banda.

If I had a time machine, this room on this night would be one of my first stops.

The best rendition of this song I've ever heard.

I've seen this video so many times, and every time it brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for your beautiful work and art.

Parabéns Maestro! Como brasileiro fico muito emocionado de ver e ouvir algo tão belo! Muitos acham que Espanhol e Português são mesmas línguas. Puro engano! Portanto a beleza acontece nestas meninas cantarem em português quase perfeito, apenas com um leve sotaque (accent). SENSACIONAL!!!! Arranjo PERFEITO! O Joel Frahm ficou admirando as meninas having fun! 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Que maravilha vendo o Brasil sendo amado e cantado! Orgulho de ser brasileira!

Maravilhosas meninas catalãs cantando m'usica brasileira perfeitamente, não posso expressar minha alegria!!!!!!!! Venham ao Brasil por favor! Si's plau!

I don't know how many times I've watched this video over the past few years but it never gets old!!! Today, I just watched Alba's and Rita's latest videos and, boy-oh-boy, did they develop into wonderful musicians!!!

This is by far the greatest perfoemence of this song!!! Love from Israel!

Woke up at night to listen. It just won't let you wait for the day.

These 2 girls are so lovelyyyyyyyyyyyy ! And always smiling ! The arrangement is wonderful and EVERYBODY is incredible ! I loveeeeeeeeeee it !

You have to give credit to the professionalism and the joy that these young folks bring to a form of music that is dying in Gringoland. Seems these days you wanna hear good swingin' jazz music -- not the street noise jive & sheets of sound crap that people think is jazz today -- you have to go to Europe. I met so many talented musicians in Iberia . . . and missed this entire crew. Come the day the plague is not so oppressive, I hope I'm still breathing to go back find all these wonderful young folks crankin' it out.

It's marvelous to see young people playing and singing high quality music. 😁🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The day Astrud Gilberto died I was listening to her music on my music app. This performance played after on auto-play. I've been hooked ever since. Not only on this piece but on the music of both Rita Payes and Alba Armengou. Can't wait to dive deeper into their music and the works of director Chamorro. Much love from California!

👏👏👏👏👏 Brasil só tem a agradecer! Linda versão pra Águas de Março, interpretada por dois gênios (Tom Jobim e Elis Regina)! Obrigado

Uma graça o sotaque em português das meninas. Parabéns pela interpretação e pela brasilidade dos arranjos.

Doesn't Joel Frahm sound just like Stan Getz....or are my old ears failing me?!! What a wonderful and delightful performnce from all....and what a classy bassist! Loved it....BRAVO!!!

The way he looks at them in the end is so heartwarming, he looks so proud of them~

It's so nice to see how proud the band leader about his young singer is - this band project is really great and lovely :-)

As a Brasilian I feel very honored with this performance. Thank you! This is actually very hard to sing for non Brasilians.

I don't understand any words but I am with yall. Feel me fams!! Loves from West Papua 🤎

Oooh yes! Amazing! Nice portuguese! Its very hard to sing this song in portuguese!! Thank you. Regards from Brazil.

Woah! I'm from Brazil grew up loving this song. This is one of my favourite performances of Elis Regina, thanks for it!

I watch this every second day, just so i can smile :D

I loved this. I found it for the first time a few days ago and now I cannot stop playing and replaying it. It's my new "go to" song for when I need a pick-me-up. Wonderfully done!

Que maravilha encontrar essa interpretação! Lindas meninas cantando nossa Águas de Março 💚

Not only do they play great music, but they also enjoy it. This comes over to the fortunate audience. Many, many thanks.

Maravilhosos. Adorei! Cantado em Português uma das canções da bossa nova mais famosas! Lloré... emocionadíssimo. Parabéns!

Eu tenho que curtir isso. Essa música já é difícil para um nativo da língua portuguesa interpretá-la, para quem não fala português, cantar isso assim é um fenômeno.

Bravissima,questa versione non l’avevo mai sentita ,io non sono brasiliano purtroppo,mi sarebbe piaciuto perché il mio sangue è bossa nova,un saluto dalla Sardegna

Melhor versão dessa belíssima música que eu já vi, não tenho palavras para descrever o que foi essa apresentação , e essas meninas então? Lindas e com um leve sotaque, mas com uma bela pronunciaçao do português, principalmente a primeira a contar,chega quase aparecer ao português nativo, Meus parabéns Chamorro! Pelo seu belíssimo trabalho com esses jovens e crianças tão habilidosos e talentosos assim como você, Abraços de um fã do Brasil, Deus te abençoe!! Gracias!

And you can't listen to this without a smile on your face and to know that you Joel and you Joan are performing such a great service by encouraging these young 'spirits' to keep jazz alive .....and to show that it can be such fun......wonderful music and people. Somehow I listen to this most days.......

Perfeito! As duas meninas falam português muito bem ❤

muito bom from america! brasil has a special place in my heart, warm friendly people and an astonishingly beautiful language!!

un clásico de la música brasileña, buena performance 👏👏👏

cancion muy bella,un regalo de brasil,saludos a los brasileños desde mexico 🇲🇽

How beautiful, perfect and talented voices👏👏👏🙏🤗 thank you so much for loving our Brazilian music... long live Elis Regina and Tom Jobim, kisses from Brazil 💚🇧🇷💛🇧🇷💚🇧🇷💛

Maestro Joan Chamorro, thank you very much for providing us with such a beautiful performance. Antonio Carlos Jobim's work is beautiful and this song brings back very particular memories of the time when I was 10 years old, when I was with my father, in the car traveling along the roads of Brazil and listening to this beautiful song on the radio. Thank you for bringing back such sweet memories. God bless you!

Una de las interpretaciones más hermosas que he escuchado y no me canso de volver a escucharla. Creo que hace más de 3 años que la escucho y siempre la vuelvo a poner. Ya perdí la cuenta de las veces que la he escuchado y seguro que siempre la estaré escuchando. Gracias, muchas gracias por tan bello arte.

Mr Chamorro does an incredible job with these kids. At their age, it’s like trying to herd cats into a basket. Not a single flat note or a note off tempo. The two singers aren’t just cute but their frasing is great. They play like seasoned professionals. I grew up on the golden years of Bossa Nova listening to the likes of Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes, Astrud Gilbert and João Gilbert. That was before bossa nova became standard issue on elevator background music. I really love his band. Well done, kids.

Sou brasileira e tenho que dizer que ficou incrível! Essas meninas cantam bem de mais!

Wow, just Fantastic !! What a great tight song !! phenomenal tone and execution !! I just love everything Joan Chamorro and the school does. I am a big Fan of Alba

As meninas mandaram muito bem ! A orquestra afinidadíssima e o solo do saxofonista um primor. Parabéns 👏

Que cosa mas hermosa! Ver a una generacion de gente tan, pero tan joven, inmersa en la belleza de la musica jazz, samba, bossa nova... todo hecho con semejante nivel de profesionalismo! JOAN CHAMORRO! maravilloso trabajo!!!! Estas dos princesitas exultantes de gracia, talento y belleza me han hecho caer lagrimas de emocion (y ni siquiera las conosco!!!!) Os habeis ganado un fan acerrimo en Japon! Aupa! y a seguir adelante, que lo que haceis realmente tiene un valor incalculable! Sois un digno ejemplo de lo que se puede hacer si se quiere, y hay talento!!!!

Beautiful! Such a pleasure to listen to young people playing this great song by Jobim!

Sou do Brasil, de uma cidade chamada Belo Horizonte, tenho 45 anos, cresci ouvindo essa música. Já tem anos que vi essa versão suas. Apareceu como sugestão. Continuo a voltar sempre por aqui e assistir repetidas vezes. Tudo lindo, todos talentosos. O solo de saxophone, as meninas, enfim, parabéns maestro, parabéns a todos vocês. 🥰

No better player than Joel for this exact moment. Joy, innocence, energy, wisdom skill, musicianship.

This is probably my favorite version of this song... it is the sheer joy that comes through in the delivery of the song that supersedes all versions that have come before it.. It really does transports me to my "Happy Place". I think that this is the effect that music aspires to, and on the odd occasion, does. This is one of those occasions.

Um orgulho que ainda nos resta !! Salve Tom Jobim !!

Thank you Joan for your passionate endavours to pass on this beautiful music to the younger generation. This is pure gold.

Sou brasileiro. E fiquei emocionado

Que emoção e orgulho escutar a música de nosso maestro maior Antônio Carlos Jobim tão bem interpretada por essas meninas. Que trabalho maravilhoso dirigido por Joan Chamorro. Obrigado

I couldn't stop smiling, from the beginning until the end ...

Brilliant!!! So lovely young people! Its heartwarming! 😢😢

The bassist has SO MUCH swag

I love this sometimes. I wish the girls were still that age.😢❤

This all so charming, and they all sound great. And that sax solo is simple elegance. Eu amo isso!

Que bonito ver a la juventud promoviendo la buena musica. Bien por el maestro Chamorro, saludos desde Weston, Florida USA.
