The Girl From Ipanema

Our debut album!!: itunes.apple.c...
Also known as Garota de Ipanema. Josh Turner and Larkin Dodgen attempt the Tom Jobim classic that made Bossa Nova popular and launched Astrud Gilberto's singing career. Forgive my Portuguese. Guitar is a Gitane D-500; mics are a pair of Audio Technica AT2050's, camera is a Kodak Playsport. Thanks to Carson McKee (channel: drakeelliot) for helping with the recording. Please feel free to leave thoughts and suggestions!

A beautiful song. Mas que nada is another amazing song from Brasil !

[@NewtonMacielJunior]

Me too! But is there another guitar playing with the Bossa Nova beating, right? Who was playing with you Josh ? Isn't easy to beat this Bossa Nova, even for brazilians!

[@MDCapitanio]

Can't help but agree... Idk about you, but most of Brazilian music sounds so very empty when played in one instrument only. It doesn't matter how much you try, be it bossa, sertanejo or whatever.

[@ViaticalTree]

Newton Maciel Junior That almost certainly was Josh playing on both guitar tracks.

[@TimNelson]

The young lady approaches the number -- at the absolute outset -- with a swing phrasing sensitivity as if she's been singing this song for 40 years. Textbook perfection.

[@95TurboSol]

She has a great voice for this song!

[@steve0sheetz]

i agree

[@sereanaduwai8313]

Absolutely !

[@randysandford4033]

One of the nicest arrangement of the song I've ever heard. Female voice perfect for the song. Guitar and mandolin excellent as well. Impressive Portuguese.

[@robertmcgee5717]

Josh, I'm 58 years old and grew up with Elvis, The Beatles and started playing guitar learning from Clapton and Hendrix and those before them. I happened upon one of uploads and it's nice to see such talent and use of the other talent around him making great music. Keep on Growin'. You are such a virtuoso and I'm sure will do well in your career of music.

I was surfing in Peru and ran into several surfers from Brazil. I used a beat up "traveling" guitar that they brought on the trip and I played The Girl From Ipanema for them - they all sang and we had a blast. This is a tough song to play and sing, but you both did a fantastic job - Bravo!!

This song requires enormous restraint, groove, finesse and delicacy. You two have it in spades! The mandolin fits great, especially the way you play it. It doesn't lose its Brazilian sound (or sound like "bluegrass" LOL). Excellent... truly excellent. Larkin... that voice... wow oh wow. It takes a very special kind of voice to sing this song. She sounds like she's swayin' down the beach when she sings this. SUPERB.

[@jOtaMpt]

Superb interpretation of "The Girl from Ipanema," one of the songs of the world. The authors, Vinicius de Moraes (lyrics) and Antonio Carlos Jobim (music), would be proud of you. Congratulations.

[@MrKeepmsafe]

Man, I love her voice!

[@motorelax]

Fantastic job Josh and Larkin! As a Brazilian it is so nice to hear your nice voices singing a music that is loved by all people here and also abroad! Waiting for your visit here in Brazil, maybe starting by our wonderful Ipanema :-)

[@leandrotuti]

I'm Brazilian and this song here is a classic. So it is not anyone who makes a good interpretation of it. And yours was perfect, both in the arrangement and in the vocals. Congratulations!

yeah, he's really impressive, but his portuguese is not perfect... who cares, right? This guy is awesome!

[@pelumaad331]

I've been seeing a Japanese guy on Facebook who is obviously singing phonetically but his playing captures the feel of acoustic country blues better than most Americans. Ryuchi Ding Yamazaka.

nice tip bro !

[@Uttarayan]

langage is music, that s why

[@gustavcheng5135]

It's been over two years ever since I watched it for the first time... and I crept back just for it once again. This is the kind of performance that you would play at school, at uni, or a hostel, might not be at a national concert hall, but it sounds so warm and lots of fun... in playing the instruments :)

[@guitaroable]

I hope you two do more Jobim . This was great. I was 16 when this came out and had never heard Bossa Nova and fell in love with it. I went out and got Jobim's "The Composer Plays" and listen'd to it while I was going to sleep every night for a long time. I think I'll find it and listen to it tonight. Magical and beautiful music ! Thanks guy's. Jobim dreams.

[@gordonhall752]

YES! More 60s Brazilian Jazz of all types. You must Josh.

[@STRIK3RM4N]

Gordon Hall It's no jazz. It's bossa, bro.

[@guitaroable]

Enzo Franco All these clever people out here in cyberspace ! Bossa nova is a type of jazz like bee bop, acid, free form, swing ect. Now can you do a harmonic analysis of the the bridge of Girl From Ipanema or Desafinado , bro. ?

[@konosxatz1]

Enzo Franco bossa nova is a kind of jazz.

[@gordonhall752]

Brazilian Boy You're mistaken. Bossa Nova is a form of Jazz from Brazil. No music is in a category all its own. Hardly "an offense to all Brazilians"!!

[@bassmangotdbluz3547]

That song has become a standard and it's not simple to play. Very sophisticated Josh & friends, Bravo !!!

[@bwalla50]

It warms my heart to see young people playing the great Jobim. Nice to see it sung as in the original with the Portuguese and English counterpoint. Larkin Dodgen does an excellent job. Her voice is my favorite kind of female jazz voice. Great job.

Josh - sings in English, Japanese, French, Spanish and other languages? This guy is amazing. Very nice version. Additional trackes on bass, mandolin, guitar & percussion. Well done.

[@Rectitude4U]

I just watched about 20 of Josh’s videos. I’m a big fan. Larkin’s voice is extraordinary. A lot of singers, especially young girls, overpower the band trying to show off, but she is just like another instrument in harmony with everything else that’s going on.

[@budandbean1]

Just amazing! I had to play this several times and have now come to the conclusion that I don't want it to end it's just so beautiful. Both your voices are so wonderful and match the song exactly. Thank you so much for this! -buddy

Amazing cover! Awesome to see Brazilian music all over the world. Big hug from Brazil!

[@phila3884]

This song transcends generations. For example, I was probably a newborn when it was a hit, but I remember it always being "on", somewhere from the time I was maybe 6 years old.. Nice to see a couple of generations later you are still into it.

My wife and I were in a coffee shop in Arizona last week when we heard "The Girl From Ipanema" come on. She looked at me and I said, "Man, I love this song." She said, "Is that Josh?" I listened for a second and said, "Yeah!" Then Larkin came in and I said, "That's Larkin. This is the same version I have on my phone!" I just hope they paid for it. :D

[@cbwinning]

This is my first time hearing this song and this was beautiful. Great job to you both.

[@cherylweso]

Wow, this is a very difficult song to sing, watch others try to cover it and it is rarely done this nice. Larkin has such an incredible voice, I'm sure will get better as time goes on. Josh, what a talent, has an incredible sense of rhythm and presence, talent way beyond his years. He must practice couple of hours a day, more than most people realise. Can't wait to hear from these two. Can't think of a cover I like better than this.

[@PLA5207]

Excellent "smokey" voice Larkin. Very nice.

[@windowsmoke]

I've heard it too much where the player doesn't embrace the bossa nova nearly enough (if you can call it that anymore with it not being new anymore) I love it when someone plays it with all of the "finger and thumb percussion" so to speak, it adds so little to someone who isn't looking for it but for that reason it adds 10 times more for someone who is, very well done.

[@phileandro]

Josh, fabulous! As a Yankee guitar player living in Brazil for more than 65 years I congratulate you for your performance. Perfect Portuguese without the "gringo accent" ! Fan-(me)-tastic!

Ah, por que tudo é tão triste? Ah, a beleza que existe A beleza que não é só minha Que também passa sozinha Ah, se ela soubesse Que quando ela passa O mundo sorrindo se enche de graça E fica mais lindo por causa do amor

Tall and tan and young and lovely The girl, from ipanema goes walking, and When she passes, each one she passes goes Ah When she moves it’s like a samba that swings so cool and sway so gently that When she passes, each one, she passes goes ah a Oh, but he watches so sadly How can he tell her he loves her Yes, he would give his heart gladly But each day when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead not at him Tall and tan and young and lovely The girl, from ipanema goes walking and When she passes, he smiles, but she doesn’t see
