Djavan-"Esquinas" live

[goretebulhoes]

Djavan é uma das melhores músicas Brasileiras,(mpb ) que faz bem aos nossos ouvidos...por que têm melodia ealegra os nossos corações...é tudo curta e valorize a nossa música...

[brazilianofcourse]

As melhores músicas brasileiras foram feitas para os brasileiros e não para agradar o mundo, e estava aí o diferencial. Hoje em dia a cópia barata da sonoridade estrangeira (feita pra tentar conquistar mercado externo) chega a dar náusea; ligar o rádio e escutar aquele som estridente das teen-band's ou do novo sertanejo (melancólico e sem poesia) é torturante. Onde foi parar a poesia de Gonzaguinha e a batida irreverente de Jorge Ben Jor?

[Galarani100]

VIVA A MÚSICA POPULAR BRASILEIRA!!!

[denlibdut]

Great stuff! Can you imagine sitting there in the audience hearing Djavan singing like this at this early stage of his career? We are so lucky to have this performance on film. Thanks for posting. I also like his 'Tom Sawyer' outfit. It's real cool!

OMG I first heard this precious gem in about 1989 or 1990 on Ken "Spider" Webb's show on WBLS. I have been enamored ever since. I searched high and low for this album. I first found the cassette tape and eventually the CD.

[HorrorBuffy]

@mysukie I also heard this on WBLS in NY, and i've been searching for it for over 20 years. You have the CD? I'm so jealous.

Djavan is one amazing composer and lyricist. His music is among some of the most complex and sophisticated in the world. He also has an amazing voice, being able to modulate his sound with the most beautifully controlled tremolo. Listen to Manhattan Transfer's homage to this composer (and others) in the album "Brasil", recorded way back in 1987...

[danilasad]

@giovannimiami  i agree with you

[antuancin]

Qué bonito!

[zintra42]

Wow!! I Love Dvajan♥

[feopedemanga]

I went to his concert last year. It was the most exciting moment of my life. I love him and his songs very much, since I was a child. I am brazilian and I consider portuguese the most beautiful language to write poetry and Djavan is a real genious in that.

[francesco31006]

Che fenomeno! Altro che la Pausini....

[Nenestm]

guys, 'esquinas' is 'corner' in english!

[Biscuit303]

I met Djavan in Boston about 20 years ago--my "boyfriend" knew his manager. It was the best show ever. Latinos really know how to enjoy a concert. (God forbid you should sing at a James Taylor concert!) What a show this was! Later, I went backstage and Djavan, who hardly speaks a word of English, said to me, "Are you good?" (I think that translated to "How are you?") I said, "Great show!" Awesome!

[cvvtoor]

Thanks for sharing, this is my favorit songwriter ever, its poetry in his lyrics!

[encanta61]

outrodavi, if you want I will teach you Portuguese... :o) but there is something about being born there, living there, BEING there, that cannot be translated.

[leesterg]

Brownboykb:  Thanks for this live clip of this song. Just as in NY this song was being played everywhere in L.A. Cali, the beaches on Sunday, jazz festivals, all the radio stations a.m. and f.m. jazz. I agree with you, the translation version to English didn't work.

[stephystills]

Great! Djavan!!!!!!!!!!!!! FNTatic singer-- Thanx for sharing

[marcbrusa]

He have a dvd with all this songs live and acoustic it's very good but I forgot the name , but I know that you gonna find on any Virgin music store all over usa.............

[Ilyakori]

You need not know a single word he's saying to know exactly what he's saying. As haunting as it was when I heard it years ago.

[safado24]

I first went to Rio in 1987, and this was playing everywhere. It's the most beautiful song, isn't it?

(The Manhattan Transfer recorded an English version called "So You Say" which is ridiculous, by the way.)

[haram2]

outradavi,

his voice is so beautiful and pure and it stirs beautiful emotions in me, without understanding the words, like this one is a painful love...and music which is jazz but specifically Brazilian, which is special to me because it is fresh and different musically fom mainstream Australian music...I'm Australian...)

[outrodavi]

You guys understand portuguese? How you feel while hearing Esquinas?

I love The Cure, but I don't understand everything of them lyrics :/.

I'm just curious :).

[manuchelo]

genio

[Wayne27]

thank you for posting, i love this song I play this song until my tape broke. lol

[Djonasz]

Alguem sabe se o Djavan já cantou com Milton Nascimento? Queria muito ouvir as duas vozes juntas.

[walrybaiano]

Essa vai fundo. Gostei também da leitura de Simone pra esta música.

[Unixilandia]

One thing I really like about Djavan is his "jazzy" singing style, and his impeccable guitar playing. His melodies are exquisite, and his lyrics are very romantic and poetic...I listen to many kinds of music, and many Brazilian musicians are great, but Djavan is way up there with the "Angels". As with Mozart, it seems as if GOD Himself uses Djavan as HIS instrument to illuminate, inspire, and teach us new ways to love each other and to respect our Universe.

[Unixilandia]

Beleza Pura! Djavan: Poeta, Cantor, Compositor, Guitarrista, Um Ser Muito Especial, Ele e Mistico....

[vgm28]

oldies but godies!!!

[seiferenglisht]

Essa música é belíssima...difícil saber qual a melhor obra de Djavan.

[franwhitemetal]

E o que si vivi apenas o que se vibe.

[rottencottencandii]

Djavannnnnnnnnnn...i remember this. Good, good memories *deep sighs*

:0)

[grubbzieCA]

Memories . . . I'm right there with you. Talk about a blast from the past. Nothing like it on the quite storm these days!

[marcwhan]

meu djavam é foda , as letras das musicas são que nem poesias e ele as canta com um sentimento fantastico , ele é demais é um dos maiores cantores brasileiros

[yorrnaihs]

@marcwhan e é foda mesmo esse eu não sei nem o que explicar como vc disse é foda

[wantaseetoo]

I recall this song on WBLS playlist during the 80's & 90's.....ahhhhhh, the memories!!

hmmmm yea!

[edupa]

First class blues. The harmony in this song is so mellow, it seems to be floating all along the melody line. Not to mention such fine musicianship on the part of the side guys.

Djavan's precise singing skills make it sound like it's an easy song to sing.

Just beautiful...

[marchezi]

Esse cara é o maior músico brasileiro.

[BMWman79]

Let me guess, this got airplay on Softnotes?....Softnotes played some awesome smooth jazz and easy listening videos when it was on the air. Also, even though i dont really understand Djavan....LOL!!!!...but this song is smooth and nice!

[Grespano]

some Djavan songs are strange. but he has a lot of nice songs. You should try to understand his lyrics.

[BMWman79]

i will.... and yes he has a lot of nice songs.
