Doing something different today as its a special day - Dave,the other blogger on this site, celebrates his birthday today. I’m not going to divulge his age, let’s just say he’s still a stunted adolesent. So in honour of this occasion and the fact that he’s currently travelling in South America, I’ve decided to dedicate a song to him. Taken from the godfather of Bossa Nova ( a newer form of Samba) Jao Gilberto, this song was origionally recorded in 1958 and considered the first song from that style. A song that was created by another famous musician from Brazil Antonio Carlos Jobim but made famous by Gilberto.

Dave is due to be in Brazil sometime this week, well after he’s finished eating steak, drinking wine and terrorising girls in Buenos Aires that is so I think its appropiate. You can find a video of the song here so enjoy !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE
