  • Is Mercedez playing a cavaquinho?

  • Indeed she is.

  • ei, voce e brasileira ou nao? Mercedezzz, I cannot believe if you tell me you are not brazilian. O cara no violao e com certeza. Mas e as meninas? Tell me.

  • Sorry, none of us is brasilian. Mercedezzz's father is Ecuadorian, which is the closest any of us gets to South America. Janet has been to Brasil for a month or so in the 90s. Marylee and I are still waiting to get our S. American cred.

  • Really nice. Great job everyone. As to the beginning., Hey I like to see someone grooving out to the rhythm. Emily Remler said, you've got to feel the swing in your whole body. At least that's how it is for me, so now I feel self-conscious. Besides, by the end you all were swaying!

  • NO SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS EVER! (end of sermon).

    Thanks! Emily Remler is Marylee's hero (and mine too) so she'll be happy to see that comment. Glad you enjoyed it!

  • Consider this: this band attracts many fans through their great videos, many of whom would have otherwise lived out their entire lives without hearing a single Jobim song. I, for one, have been familiarizing myself with the original classics throughout my own YouTube bossanova odyssey.

    Furthermore, nobody is claiming that these renditions are superior to the originals. The only "presumption" here is your allegation of arrogance toward passionate and open-minded musicians.

  • you are very good, an interpretation better than the original.

    to the singer : you are fantastic!

  • i thought it was really cool! and if that's part of your family,they're also cool :) keep doing good music...viva o Brasil :)

  • Your Portuguese needs to be improved :-D

  • WONDERFUL, LOVE JOBIM FOREVER

  • CANTAS COMO UN ANGEL! HERMOSA INTERPRETACION DE "CORRENTEZA"

    U never cease to amaze me Mercedes

  • Lovely!

  • Achei a apresentação excelente! Parabéns!

    Great show! Congratulations!

  • That was good, but you badly need a new percucionist, couse that one you manage to find sorta of suck at it. the rest of it, all cool

  • love this one.

  • Water flows in MANY rhythms. I like how Bossa Saravah varies the rhythm. I'm hardly unbiased, but I've listened to several versions of this beautiful song tonight, enjoying them all, but this one is still my favorite -- it's also the one that introduced the song to me. The only time I've heard it better was when I heard these same musicians play it live.
