João Gilberto, an Architect of Bossa Nova, Is Dead at 88

When I was way younger, I remember running to my home after school every afternoon with the only purpose of getting to my room and listening to Joaõ Gilberto's music. I would play endlessly his recordings with Stan Getz, and I would fall asleep watching his concerts alongside Caetano Veloso. All the beauty, depth and complexity that arose from just a simple guitar and the right voice completely absorbed me. And up to this day, it still does.

Descanse em paz, mestre.

Colours and houses

Several years ago I listened to A Hawk and a Hacksaw for the first time, and their music immediately haunted me. All of their work really fascinates me. This group was initiated by Jeremy Barnes, an Albuquerque’s (New Mexico) native, back in 2002, who was joined later by Heather Trost. They play mainly accordion and violin respectively, but combine as well a lot more instruments that give their songs a masterful magic. From their numerous trips to countries like Hungary, Romania and Turkey there is this beautiful Eastern European sound that impregnates their albums’ narratives; a mystical and mysterious antique essence of the region. They released a new album in April this year, called Forest Bathing, which is remarkable and I really love. Here is one of my favourite songs. They are currently touring the U.S. A sad thing is that probably I will never see them playing live.
