Very nice: Smells Like (7 Nation) Jean Spirit, and it works! And most of all I like the singalong bit in the following piece at around 6:00. You can hear that there are lots of really young girls in the audience - maybe what we used to call 'teenyboppers' sometime before the Industrial Revolution - and they're singing along with their pop idol, who together with his real band is playing real, grooving music with a tasty bass line 100% live for them, and demonstrating his own passion and fun in the process. ...[wipes tear from eye]... Put a big smile on my face.
Do not make the mistake of giving up the near in order to seek the far.
Bruno is known for doing great covers of some other great artists. Wish I could go see his concert, but alas, when can we do that again?

^^^ Cool video. In 1963, it's true that many Brazilian musicians were pissed that the music of a classically trained, cabaret jazz composer was becoming more influential than samba. Btw, they called it the "bossa nova" because it was the new beat --literally played at half the speed of most samba or choro. Anyway, the result is still that 90% of people in the US can name several bossa novas, but would be hard pressed to name Brazilian musicians who played samba or other forms. That's not a complaint. It's just a loss for those who don't get to hear them.
Here's someone from '62/63 singing a complaint that Brazilian samba is no becoming less pure. It's a beauty.
