LE ROI DE LA BOSSA NOVA: THE KING OF BOSSA NOVA

LE ROI DE LA BOSSA NOVA: THE KING OF BOSSA NOVA

Luiz Bonfa never quite reached the dizzying commercial heights of Antonio Carlos Jobim or Joao Gilberto. Regardless, Bonfa's contributions to the bossa-nova movement were, arguably, just as important. He worked steadily in America, released more than 50 albums, toured with singer Mary Martin and wrote several Brazilian film scores. The composer and guitarist died in 2001, but his work continues to make an impact. This edition of Le Roi De La Bossa Nova compiles that original 1962 album and the 1963 EP En direct du Bresil, and the songs flow together seamlessly. It's an intimate, inviting mix. Casual vocals and precise instrumentation make for a sun-kissed jaunt through the world of bossa nova, anchored by Bonfa's impeccable guitar work. The sound quality is crisp and clear, and it conjures images of warm beaches, cold drinks and swaying trees. The perfect accompaniment for your next summer vacation. --Joey Guerra
