Ivan Lins, a major Brazilian songwriter, is a master of harmony with heartfelt songs.
Many of his songs have been considered as Brazilian standards. He has become one of Brazil's most recorded composers whose albums are regularly nominated for both Grammy Awards and Latin Grammy Awards.
Ivan explained that this is the first time ever for him to perform this particular piece of music. He wrote this music dedicated to Milton Nascimento.
Multi-talented Milton Nascimento is frequently acclaimed as Brazil's greatest musician. He weaves a startling blend of musical influences, including brazilian and african folk music, european classical music, bossa nova, as well as music from world and pop stage. His music typically have a haunting quality that could range from very simple to highly complex compositions.
This live version was performed at the Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival on March 5, 2010. The annual festival has rapidly becoming the biggest jazz festival in the world today with 20 stages of concurrent performance. Ivan appeared in the first and second day of this year's venue. This recording is from his performance in the first day.
I am privileged to be part of the audience and experience the world premiere of this song.
I hope you enjoy this presentation.
