Product Description:

With the advent of bossa nova, Caterina Valente was perhaps the first European popular artist with the curiosity to actually venture to Brazil. A student of Latin American music, she gained the respect of bossa's protagonists when, on her arrival in April 1961, she proclaimed (in Portuguese) her admiration for the work of Agostinho dos Santos and Maysa and that she believed Brazilian music to be the best in the world. Caterina then gave a tremendously successful show at the Teatro Record in São Paulo and appeared at the Copacabana Palace in Rio before returning home to spread the word. She fashioned a delightful album with Brazilian master-guitarist Luiz Bonfá, and proceeded, over the years and in a profusion of languages, to record superior interpretations of the bossa classics.
