2016 "Triste" ALBA ARMENGOU SANT ANDREU JAZZ BAND (JOAN CHAMORRO DIRECCIÓN) 

Oh for goodness sake, this is; the sweetest tune ever. Her voice , my GOD, I've never heard anything more mellow.

This is so beautiful, Alba sings directly from the soul. Thank you

One of the best covers of "Triste" in the last 25 years! Alba Armengou nails the vocal. Great arrangement, amazing vocal harmonies, and excellent ensemble play. No wonder it has over 5 million views, muchas gracias Professor Chamorro!

No make up, no mini skirts, not seeking attention, just pure talent that’s what I respect

Alba has a beautiful voice. She sings so nice with sensitiveness, besides this is a very mellow song.

WOW This performance is pretty amazing. The sax and piano solos are creme de la creme. But that vocal harmony is just absolutely sublime.

This song could not be sung better. Absolutely gorgeous phrasing, and background vocals are perfection. Great to hear these boss a nova sounds revived and refreshed, perhaps performed as never before. Alba’s voice was made to sing this particular song. Such a beautiful language as well.

i keep watching this over and over, a few times a week. it's just so perfect, the sound is excellent, vocals and every instrument spot on, great song. it's like it has the same excellence of paul desmond, jim hall, elis regina from back in the day, all captured with today's technology. love this!

What a superb video of this joyous performance. Thanks to all who worked to create this lovely gem. It brings me happiness.

I can't describe the feeling of satisfaction I have when I see the younger generation carrying on music traditions and adding their own contributions to it, part of a long, unbroken chain of musical beauty.

When I get weary of the world and the wars I come to this channel and observe the best in music and humanity. 😊

She has probably the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard. I showed my mom and both her and I are so in love with the way she sings. She has such a silky sultry voice

In my 60 years of musical performance, teaching and listening I have never witnessed any performance from any person that there was a clearer "life" moment for an individual as with Alba Armengou's performance of Triste. The lighting, the intonations, the blends, the gentle and nuanced movement through the song, the truly innocence of expressions by Alba was an encapsulation of a truly life moment for her. That is not to take away from any of the other brilliant musicians, however, this song, this coming together of so many naturally beautiful elements of artistic expression elevated this young women's innocent and unaffected angelic voice and song to the purest of eternal beauty. Alma, you should treasure these most magical few moments as the highest level of the wonderment of human beings. Amazing, simply unforgettable.

I have just revisited this after a long gap, but having watched and listened maybe a hundred times before. It is still total perfection. The harmony and pace and timing are stunning. A moment captured in time, in the young lives of these fantastically talented people. It never gets old. ❤😊

Joan Chamorro is a brilliant man. Hours and months and years spent with these young people.

I've come here again...because this is just perfect. Sublime! That arrangement, those voices! Just WOW!!!

This is the most beautiful music I've heard in the past 20 years ♥️👍🤓🎺

Blown away! So smooth!

San Andreu is a working-class neighborhood on the outskirts of Barcelona. Railroad tracks and little else. Great to see the people make the beauty that the area lacks. I played Basketball there for San Joan de Mata.

Brasilian Samba, Bossa never disappoints....and the vocal harmony of these young people is pure delight.

Mí Respeto y Admiración por Joan Chamorro, un gran Maestro de la Cultura Musical, dándole la Oportunidad a Todos estos Jóvenes de diferentes Países del Mundo , para que cumplan sus Sueños y Proyectos de Vida con las Bellas Artes . Felicitaciones.

Don't understand a single word, but her voice is magic.

This is one of the FINEST bossa performances I've ever heard. I realize this was years ago, but the future of the genre is in excellent hands (and voices and hearts and souls!).

I dont know how many times i've listened to this. It's just eargasmic! Their blended voices have the perfect vocal chemistry. I hope they make a repeat performance for 2023!

Alba could sing the ingredients label on a can of soup and it would be beautiful. Her voice is simply intoxicating.

2:56 Enrique’s tenor solo was like a fine glass of wine🍷☀️

Angels coming to Earth to perform this song. The lead singer is particularly expressive.

I have no idea how RU-vid came up with that suggestion but I'm so grateful, this is a joy to listen to. The backing vocals are exceptional, and everything else is great too. Also, I love how the lead singer looks so humble and sweet, focusing her attention on the soloists and applauding even while she resumes singing, all of this while having enormous talent and a fantastic voice. Congratulations to all, this is just beautiful. I'll come back to this video regularly for sure.

Without undermining all of Alba Armengou's jubilation, we must, above all, thank Antônio Carlos Jobin, both for the lyrics and the wonderful melody of this BOSSA NOVA, which praises the BRAZILIAN people.

This is Alba at her best. and she was just 15 when this was shot. And the back up by Andrea, Rita and Elia is fantastic. What great things Joan Chamorro has done with these young people!

I have been listening to this for the last couple of years and every time I hear it, it sounds even better. Alba's voice is so sensual and her bossa nova feel is maybe the best since Joao Gilberto. Andrea, Rita and Elia's voices lay down such a wonderful carpet of gentle sounds for Alba to sing over and what a fabulous arrangement from Joan Chamorro. A work of musical perfection.

I've played music my whole life. This is pure musical magic. I've listened to this so many times. The best!!!

All the girls are truly fantastic, and nobody could sing this like Alba! My goodness, what a joy! Playerz are great too.

I am 82 and a jazz guy since I. was 15 It is my birthday and I pick them over all to celebrate Makes me feel alive

Astrud recently passed and she is smiling up there. These youngsters will certainly keep this bossa nova alive and well. Astrud, Stan Antonio, etc. will not have to worry if Joan and company are around. BEAUTIFUL arrangement of this classic!!! Keep them coming Joan !!!!

I keep coming back to this. One of my most favorite performances ever.

Alba and the girls are enchanting. 🥰

Jobim esta orgulloso, donde quiera que estes... Qué bueno que en Europa haya un resurgimiento de la bossa, mientras aca en América Latina si no es reggaeton no pueden hacer nada !

I certainly hope all those musicians are still in jazz.

Ok put aside for a moment the awesome vocals, bass and direction. In this video we experience great saxophonists (both of whom interpret differently) and a world class pianist ! And. although I've watched this a few times I just now realize how much the precision camera work and editing adds to making this piece a masterpiece.

The future of fine music is in safe hands! 😊❤

Hace dos años que descubrí esta interpretación y seguramente cada semana la escucho. Hoy me he dado cuenta que (sin querer) no le había dado "like". A veces no nos damos cuenta de que hay que agradecer lo que se nos da, pero nunca es tarde. Gracias Joan Chamorro, gracias Alba, gracias a todas las personas que estuvieron en ese escenario y gracias a las personas que hicieron esto posible, os deseo lo mejor porque, sin duda, me habéis aportado mucho.

This is pure joy! You don't even have to understand Portugese.

lead singer ... such a fine voice.

I cannot understand a word, but I truly enjoy it!

music teacher here in Honolulu.... I wish I could 'like' this 1000 times.... wow. Congratulations on giving these young people the guidance to continue jazz.... amazing. fantastic.

This is sanity and beauty in a confused world.

i have no idea what they are singing but i just love this so much. i must have heard it over and over 60+ times. Joan! you are simply amazing!

Beautiful tenor saxo by Enrique Oliver. Jan Domenech is a wonderful pianist. Everyone plays in a very fine way. Rita Elia and Andrea are so sweet and Alba is the soul daughter of Cher Baker and Saraswati. Congratulations too all, Joan Chamorro is a perfect teacher and conductor.

I just love her voice so much!!!

I've listened to this 100 times. The thing that shines for me is the incredibly beautiful vocal arrangements that complement so well the tune. Já ouvi isso 100 vezes. O que brilha para mim são os arranjos vocais incrivelmente bonitos que complementam tão bem a melodia.

The back-up harmony voices are astounding.

Joan Chamorro is a genius and was obviously blessed with the ability to turn these kids into new stars of the Jazz world. These current and past members of Joan's program are simply amazing. Congratulations Joan, your program is unique in the world. I been in the Jazz world for more than 50 years as a drummer and a fan. I have seen some of the greatest talents in the business and these "kids" could take the stage with any of them. The ongoing success of his students like Eva Fernandez and Andrea Motis are testaments to their commitment and Joan's ability to inspire and empower kids as young as 6 years old into the world of Jazz and to reveal their inner talents. He not only teaches these children how to express themselves through their instruments but he guides them to respect themselves and others and leads them into young adults with passion for their music and their future. It is simply magical and leaves me without words. Another amazing, outstanding performance. Bravo Joan Chamorro and your students.

The world is a better place for having Alba sing in it.🎶

Joan is the right guy at the right time for this to happen. Love this piece over and over.

Everything about this composition is right! It is a musical gift to the world.

Music teacher here in Southern California - This gives me hope for The future of jazz in our world. I have to say how simply beautiful this piece is. Almost infectious bringing a tear to my eye. And every single time I listen to it, I am inspired. Thank you for blessing this week ( mine) with these wonderful sounds Played over and over, -making me smile.

This morning I woke up with the sad news that legendary musician Joao Gilberto had passed away on saturday. This take of Triste literally brought tears (of joy mind you) to my eyes this morning. The beautiful arrangements of the exquisite vocals, the excellent solos ans the pure JOY that this performance and these young yet very talented young musicians brought to me, I think even mr Gilberto up in heaven will agree that this music is indeed very good hands with our youth. A big hand to mr Joan Chamorro for giving us the Sant Andreu Jazz Band and passing on beautiful music!👏 you made my day!

I love bossa Nova music, this is one of the best..amazing musicians..great singer..

i m in love with this song, the interpretation is so nice , the voice of Alba Armengou is magic !

Alba has the voice of an Angel 😇 ❤️💙

No matter how many times I hear this, it kills me every time, how beautifully it is performed by everyone involved. This is music at its finest. Congrats to all involved and bless you.

The harmony of the ladies is second to none.

Maestro, I can’t tell you how many times I have enjoyed this beauty.

This is Bossa Nova, a Brazilian jazz variant, at its best. Her voice is absolutely angelical and captivating.

Alba and the gang ! How BEAUTIFUL !

Bravissimo young people. The future of jazz will be great.

I love this band. The band and its musicians are excellent and that compliment comes from a drummer who has been playing with Big Bands for 62 years.

I've watched this many times and it gets better. Amazing everything, alto and tenor compliment each other so well,pure magic. Alba and friends are out of this world, so nice to follow their careers. Fab

My favorite version of this song by a long way. Kudos to all.

Hi Joan, watching this again before bed. Enriqe, Luigi, Jan, Abril, Alba and the heavenly harmony of the girls and Senor Monne's excellent arreglo, one of my favorites from SAJB. Matengnance bien todos!!

Agradeço os sábios João Chamorro e Joan Monné para ter trazido à nossa vista e aos nossos ouvidos um quarteto divino catalã harmonizando, em legitimo brasileiro, uma melodia inesquecível dos tempos de delicadeza musical que o Tom ele-mesmo tivesse adorado. Imagine só a reação de Tom e Vinicius à voz de Alba Armengou!

Just close eyes and fly away into the wonderful world of jazz. Alba and her wonderful girly charm ...

Wow........this is really great! GREAT! What a lovely voice! And sung in flawless Portuguese. Wow...... I got goosebumps of it. For more than 50 years I'm a lover of Brazilian Bossa-Nova music so I know a lot of bossa-nova songs and bossa-nova singing artists. I think Joan Chamorro is fantastic and Alba Armengou is SUPER. I love you all. Best wishes from the Netherlands!

I've never heard such young people harmonising so well together I've watched it so many times and I still love it in fact I will always love it as I will all their music

3 years later and I'm still coming back. Great stuff, Joan!

THIS is how "Triste" and bossa nova were meant to sound at their best. Armengou is breathtakingly talented in her ingeniously tenderly evocative nuanced style, as are the other powerfully supporting vocalists, and bossa nova is her calling. The band is world class phenom and the horns were intoxicating in their "spot-on-ness". Bravo! Can't wait to be buying CDs titled the likes of, "Alba Canta Jobim," "Alba Canta Gilberto," "Alba Canta Caymmi," because the world is her oyster. How long must we wait?

The definitive recording

This is about as good as it gets. Would be interesting to hear these four world class singers singing the same song a few years later....

Jobim must be smiling down from Heaven.

Alba sings with such feeling and she has such a lovely voice. She will be, if she so desires, be admired world-wide. I can't get enough of this video.

Her voice is perfect for bossa nova

Incorporou a alma da Bossa Nova! No Céu , Antônio Carlos Jobim está aplaudindo !👏👏👏

I found this piece a couple of years back and fell in love with this ensemble. It remains my favourite piece of music. A rendition of Triste that will never be surpassed. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺

I now spend most of my listening time online here with this magical man and his fantastic young musicians. I run out of words to describe how wonderful these people are to the art of jazz. Joan Chamorro is a super hero in my book. I am 84 now and I feared for the future of jazz at one point not so long ago! Not anymore! As Felix Kozelsky said somewhere else...jazz is in good hands now!

Every time i hear this, my eyes tear up...... So Beautiful I play this often..... Thanks for the post

After years more than 5 million views. This is one of the school's best-performed songs ever. Sung in a perfect and enveloping way and with solos of the highest quality. I could put him among the milestones of jazz for his absolute fresh execution

Lead singer has a beautiful sultry voice!!!!!!!!!

What is special about the young musicians? It is the naturalness and the joy of the music that they radiate. And something else very important: they are themselves and not copies of anyone. And when they present something, it is as it is and not a repetition of what has already been heard. Bravo - that is something special that you should keep for as long as possible. There are already enough copies. Thank you for being who you are.

This performance still brings tears to my eyes even though I have watched and listened to it many times. Thanks to all.

Are you kidding me?? Absolutely flawless….!!

Jovens cantando e tocando com tanta alma. Nunca vi nada igual. Parabéns Maestro Chamorro!

772 people are out of their minds: how can you not like this??? ❤️❤️❤️ bravo!!!

That's it. I'm learning Portuguese.

Luigi Grasso is world class. His improvisation is electrifying.

@joanchamorro, I keep watching this one. It's the first Clip I saw of Your work and still among the greatest music I've heard in my life. Alba and the three other geniuses! How is this even possible? And all of them have been going on... You must be a happy man... I respectfully salute You.

Beautiful voice!🤗

This is an absolutely wonderful performance of a great song - Alba Armengou is magical and the other vocalists sing some deliciously complicated harmonies and make them sound easy. The whole band is marvellous. How has it taken me four years to find this? Lovely - and bravo.

This remains among the very best smooth jazz tracks recorded. Something special happened here.

Alba sings like how she plays trumpet, so much smooth control on every syllable and note, I don't know the musical terms!
