About
Few film soundtracks have changed the course of popular music, but the score Luiz Bonfá and Antonio Carlos Jobim contributed to the 1959 Brazilian French film Orfeu Negro did exactly that. Their music for the film became a pivotal moment in spreading bossa nova to the wider world, merging samba with cool jazz in a way that felt entirely new. Jobim, a composer and multi instrumentalist from Rio de Janeiro, is widely considered one of the founding figures of bossa nova and one of the great songwriters of the 20th century. His composition Garota de Ipanema has been recorded more than 240 times, making it one of the most covered songs in history. Together, Bonfá and Jobim gave Orfeu Negro a sound that resonated far beyond Brazil, opening ears everywhere to what bossa nova could be.
