Retrato Brasileiro - Baden Powell

Baden Powell
Brazilian musician
Roberto Baden Powell de Aquino

Brazilian guitarist and composer (b. Aug. 6, 1937, Varre-e-Sai, Braz.—d. Sept. 26, 2000, Rio de Janeiro, Braz.), helped popularize the bossa nova (new trend), a romantic, sensual style of the 1950s and 60s that was created from a fusion of the samba, a Brazilian dance music, and cool jazz. He came from a musical family, and his father, who was a troop leader, named his son for Robert S.S. Baden-Powell, the British founder of the Boy Scouts. The boy was a child prodigy and was playing on Rádio Nacìonal by the age of eight. Beginning in his early teens Baden Powell played professionally. In the mid-1950s he met Antônio Carlos Jobim, one of the best known of the bossa nova composers; he encouraged Baden Powell to devote himself to the new music. Perhaps Baden Powells most distinctive contribution to the bossa nova style was the incorporation of African influences, derived from his study of African rituals in Brazil. In 1964 he moved to Europe, first to Paris and later to West Germany, and he subsequently recorded with such jazz musicians as Stan Getz, Herbie Mann, and Stéphane Grappelli. Baden Powell returned to Brazil in 1988 and later underwent a religious conversion that led him to stop performing certain of his compositions. Deve Ser Amor and Samba Triste were his first major hits. More than 50 of his compositions were written in collaboration with the poet Vinícius de Moraes. These included Samba de Benção, used on the sound track of Claude Lelouchs 1966 film Un Homme et une femme (A Man and a Woman), Berimbau, Samba em Preludio, and Bom Dia, Amigo.
