Águas de Março (Waters of March) - Antônio Carlos Jobim (Josh Turner feat. Martina DaSilva)

[@josesachet]

As a Brazilian, it's great to see this tune brilliantly done by such amazing musicians. Way to go, guys.

[@adaltroczguitar]

Brazilian here too! Totally agree!!

[@jvtts_]

o Josh tem um carinho muito grande com seus covers, tipo Eleanor Rigby é um dos melhores covers dele porque ele traz várias dinâmicas e transforma a atmosfera da música no jeito que ele quer Ele faz isso com esse, figurino, cor, saturação, a estética inteira. é muito bom ver algo assim da nossa cultura

Brazilian guy here. It's so AMAZING hear Brazilian music played and sung by foreigners, and so well made! Thank you very much!

But Martina is Brasileira! (Carioca?)

[@czamana]

@@violao206 I don't know. Her accent is not from a native speaker.

[@JoaoPedro-iw3qd]

I always find it impressive how Josh is able to sing so many songs in so many different languages while still having good pronunciation. This is not an easy song to sing, especially if you are not a fluent Portuguese speaker, but him and Martina absolutely nailed it!

[@MrDrewseph]

Part of being a top ties musician like Josh is having an excellent ear for detail

[@marinaferri3834]

I'm looking forward an Italian song!

[@marianolovardo7701]

Completamente de acuerdo, Josh tirar el don, THE GIFT.

[@bram_anwick]

Cool - although I'm not sure about his taste in pyjamas

[@DSteinman]

Choral singer here - once you've been trained on common characteristic sounds of romance languages and have a few songs under your belt, you can work up a decent pronunciation reasonably quickly - much more quickly than it would take to fully learn the language! A little familiarity with the International Phonetic Alphabet helps here too. Josh has college a capella background so I'm not surprised he pulls off the Portuguese well!

[@AdamNeely]

You guys killed it!!

[@JohnLopesBR]

As a brazilian I must say: these lyrics are very, very difficult to sing even for us. And you just nailed it. Perfect. Viva a Bossa Nova!

[@trex52]

As an Argentinian that admires and plays Brazilian music, and lived decades in the US, I was delighted to hear this rendition and to see that Bossa is not dead there :) My hat off to you Josh!

[@spandrel1858]

As a non-Portuguese speaker myself, I just love how it sounds when it's sung. This crazy song captivates the first time you hear it and stays w you forever. It sounds like springtime and everything is hopeful. Great great version, thank you.

[@ademariojunior]

Thanks for this beautiful description. Let me add that the lyrics are ushering Autumn since it says that the waters of March are closing the Summer (in the Southern hemisphere). Although with the promise of life in the heart.

[@arieltonmarquessilva2587]

In Bossa Nova not only the lirycs but the rhythm and harmonies also tells a story. This song sounds uplifting and refreshing whilst the liryc is a bit dark. In a way it describes the aftermath of floods and landslides commonly caused by the rains in that time of the year. It's a tough time but it reminds the power people have to rebuild themselves. At leat that's my take on that song.

[@avisoaosnavegantes2021]

@@arieltonmarquessilva2587 Essa sua interpretação é muito, muito pessoal, pois a letra não diz nada disso que você falou.

[@ademariojunior]

@@avisoaosnavegantes2021 , mais ou menos. "É o carro enguiçado, é a lama, é a lama" está falando, sim, das chuvas torrenciais. Mas também não acho que é "dark". Acho que o tema central é a construção da casa que Tom Jobim tinha na roça e que acho que ficou pronta em março. E as águas de março vieram junto com a festa da cumeeira.

[@avisoaosnavegantes2021]

@@ademariojunior Você tem toda a liberdade de entender a letra com quiser, isso faz parte. Mas ele fala de uma caminhada pela Mata Atlântica, por uma pequena parte dessa floresta - e ele compara essa caminhada à vida. Ou seja, observar os detalhes e objetos dessa caminhada é como ver os detalhes e fatos de uma vida. Também há metalinguagem no texto - o processo de feitura dos versos se compara ao que ele vê pelo caminho dessas trilhas. Resumindo - ele está caminhando por trilhas e revê sua vida ali, a vida que teve e que terá; a construção e o fim das coisas. Nada tem a ver com enxurradas ou deslizamentos. O texto é filosófico/poético de uma experiência transcendental. Não quis parecer arrogante e tirano nisso, mas o que há na letra é isso, e/ou mais.

[@scottmccrimmond6377]

I have a big population of hispanic heritage children at my school and plan on letting this one rip as my older students walk in next week!

[@dooleyfussle8634]

The easy conversational flow of this song ( in Portuguese, no less) is brilliant. So relaxed and fun!

[@belectronix]

‘Summer Samba’ quote at the end of the trombone solo, nice touch. So nice ;)

[@violao206]

Eh-hmmm, it is Samba de Verão composed by Marcos Valle and original lyrics by his brother Paulo Sérgio Valle. The dodgy bolt-on English lyrics and wrong names were assigned by American lyricist Norman Gimbel. Why the beef? Because with virtually no exception, the English lyrics are crappy lightweight bolt-on shoe-horned lyrics which typically have nothing to do with the original lyrics. The greatness of the tunes are stripped down, dumbed down, without the poetic gravitas of the original intention. That is if the lyrics have anything to do with the original lyrics. Those are the worst and most unforgivable lyrics in English. Harrumph.

[@lucylou5766]

‘It’s the promise of life, it’s the joy in your heart.’ Josh, no matter the genre, style, instrumentation, language, texture, tone, everything you create brings joy! I can’t fully express how much I admire you and your collaborators. Thank you! ❤

[@MotoLen51]

So great! I love it when a singer's smile is audible.The way Josh falls back at the end reminds me of Jobim at the end of that black and white 1974 recording.

[@michaelmontero8357]

Josh's pronunciation gets better with each successive Brazilian cover. He even has a Brazilian vibe about him. Têm jeito de gringo morando no Rio pelos ultimos dez anos.

[@EdenAraujoo]

Muito gratificante um Brasileiro que curte a música de vocês ouvirem vocês tocando músicas nossas. Continue 🥰❤️😄

[@israelcanova]

This is the first time I ever see an American singing in Pt w so clear pronunciation, I even felt like they were 2 Brazilian! Also, as a musician, I should say that his guitar Rhythm was pretty samba-like. When I was in the U.S I've heard other people saying Boss-Nova was a "Brazilian Jazz", bit when they played, it didn't sound like Bossa, it actually sounded like Jazz, so I realized that not everybody is sensitive enough to perceive and capture that details of the rhythmic nuances of Samba. You Josh in fact did it, your Swing was really identical! All the props!

[@mendezreviews]

Thank you for keeping this song alive and doing it so damn well. The laughing and smiling while singing is just like Jobim and Elis. Just awesome.

[@adrianodiascasais]

Vocês conseguiram cantar em português e a batida do violão junto com a bateria e o trombone estavam quase perfeito. Parabéns! 👏🇧🇷🇺🇲

[@heberpazdelima7504]

Another Brazilian here. Man, I was thrilled with this interpretation. I'm sure Tom Jobim and Elis Regina would applaud you for such resourcefulness and talent! What may call "mistakes" I call humanity. This song is an expression of Brazilianness. Touching her with "perfection" is easy. It isn’t easy to print a personality as you did. I shivered with your interpretation! Congratulations!
