Feeling Saudade, is surviving one self, living dead : it is like living in the past and dying in the present. –\u00a0(R. A. Lawton, Almeida Garrett, The intimate constraint, 1966)<\/span><\/h2>\n

As I was driving South, heading to my river, I turned on\u00a0the national radio and they were playing\u00a0a song\u00a0from Jo\u00e3o Gilberto, his gentle voice filled me with joy, his \u00a0guitar woke me up and that bossa nova rythm gave me the instant feeling of dancing. But later on I understood Jo\u00e3o had passed away. Brasilian music, especialy Bossa Nova has been in my life since my early age, it’ the first music I played on guitar. I felt Saudade, that blues, so well decribed in that the title above.<\/p>\n

And as Caetano once said : better than silence, there is Jo\u00e3o Gilberto.<\/em><\/p>\n

I feel like crying. Here are three\u00a0mixtapes of Jo\u00e3o Gilberto, play\u00a0them and dance under the stars.<\/p>\n

Jo\u00e3o Gilberto by Shuffle, maybe the most achieved one (but stop at 52:40 than its only talking). download<\/a><\/p>\n
