" The Girl From Ipanema" Since Portugal is the country posting the most pageviews on this blog, I always admired how Brazilian composers especially the Emperor of Bossa Nova, Antonio Carlos Jobim who is seen in this version of The Girl From Ipanema. He created and popularized the Bossa Nova which is sung in Portugese, the native language of Brazil. The Bossa Nova rhythm  is the most interesting musical trend since the 1960's . It can even be applied to standards from the Great American Songbook like in Irving Berlin's 'Change Partners. It's sung by Sinatra in true Bossa Nova fashion and accompanied by Jobim himself.
