The goodbye to Bossa Nova from JOHNNIE ALF

SAO PAULO - The singer, composer and pianist Rio Johnny Alf died in marh 4th, aged 80, in Santo André, in São Paulo (Brazil), where he was staying. For more than three years, Alf had been suffering from prostate cancer and his health has worsened since Monday.

Born José Alfredo da Silva, Vila Isabel de Noel Rosa (1910-1937) in Rio de Janeiro on May 19, 1929, Johnny Alf was emphasized through songs like "Eu e a Brisa" (The Breeze And I), "Ilusão a Toa" and "Rapaz do Bem". He was raised by his mother and a family that hired her as a maid after his father's death. Later, around 9 years old, a friend of the family, Geni Borges, encouraged him to learn classical piano.

Studies of classical music ( "more than Chopin Debussy") had little influence after, as the Alf assert years later. What else had an impact on his artistic creation were the movies American music that soundtracks were signed by people of the stature of George Gershwin and Cole Porter. "That's what I lit interior that will create something. So when the movie came back on that impact, I went to the piano and doing things with the influence of what he had heard," he said.



In the movie musical, there was jazz - and especially the trio of fellow pianist and singer Nat King Cole inspired. In Brazilian music, the singers Silvio Caldas, Orlando Silva and Batista Dircinha were among his favorites. He also played Dorival Caymmi and successes of the repertoire of fine singers of the time, as Lucio Alves and Dick Farney. This mixture of influences emerged the embryo of the bossa nova that he pioneered.

The year 1952 was definitive in his career. Until then, Alf hopped out the functions of the Army, during the day, and nightclub singer in the evening. Among his admirers in the audience were singers like Nora Ney and Dick Farney. It was through them that started the career as a pianist at Cantina do César, nightclub owned radio Caesar Alencar. Victor Freire contributed leading him to know the actress and singer Mary Gill, who had just been elected Queen of Radio that year.

Thus it was that had not one but four of his songs recorded for the first time - "What Is Love," "We Are Not Alone," "Listen" and "can talk" - as well as playing piano on the disc from the singer. The very first recording of Alf, falsetto, his own, left on the B side of a 78RPM disc, which had cigarettes in cigarette (Luiz Bonfa) on the A.

Singer - Before instrumentalist, composer and architect bright harmonies amazing movements, Alf did not take long to impress as a singer, also a pioneer in the use of voice as an instrument. First record significant of his career over 50 years and a few titles, "Man of Good" is considered by experts as the first album of bossa nova, a style only adopt this nomenclature in 1958 with the classic "Chega de Saudade" (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes) for voice and guitar of Joao Gilberto.

The silent revolution of Alf came to the public three years earlier, but had the backing of a privileged audience of shows since 1953: the young bossa nova Joao Gilberto, Tom Jobim, Carlos Lyra and Joao Donato, among others, who had how big idol.

Living in São Paulo since 1954 - with a relapse leap in Rio in 1962, when he formed a trio with bassist Tiao Neto and drummer Edison Machado - Alf just released their first LP, "Good Lad" in 1961. Then came the consecration of another of his classics, "Toa of Illusion" and "What Is Love", which will become mandatory in all his shows. His biggest success was "I and the Breeze," 1967. Alf only recorded 13 albums over 40 years and played their last show in August 2009 at Teatro do SESI in Sao Paulo, along with her friend Alaíde Costa.

The soundtrack os the brazilian sitcom

In 1970, the "economic miracle" fulfilled the hopes of Brazilian society and the television started to play an important role in people's lives. Soap operas already gathered Brazilians in the living-room. Some neighbors would gather in the window of the most fortunate families, just to watch Irmãos Coragem. The soap operas soundtracks were well different of the ones produced nowadays. Som Livre (Globo's record company) would soon be created, as a label distributed by Odeon. Until then, Globo's soundtracks were released by Philips.

The tracks that compose the collection presented here were taken from those records. They are all Brazilian instrumental tracks of Globo's soap operas broadcasted in the year of 1970 (Pigmalião 70, Verão Vermelho, Irmãos Coragem, A Próxima Atração e Assim na Terra Como no Céu), all produced by Nelson Motta (the soundtracks). With compositions of Egberto Gismonti, Dory Caymmi, Marcos Valle, José Briamonte and Roberto Menescal, these tracks, created especially for the soap operas, brought many surprising moments, as the interpretation of Joyce for the "Bachiana nº5", of Villa-Lobos, or Elis Regina making vocalisations in the main theme of the soap opera Verão Vermelho, and the band The Youngsters (former The Angels), one of the pioneers of the instrumental rock in Brazil, in a groovy interpretation (that vaguely resembles The Meters) of the music "Tema de Kiko", composed by Roberto Carlos and Erasmo Carlos.

One of most famous brazilian music

ZEQUINHA DE ABREU

"Tico Tico" 1944

Music by Zequinha Abreu
Portugese words by Aloysio Oliviera ("Tico Tico No Fuba")
English words by Ervin Drake


ARY BARROSO


"Baia" 1944

Music and Portugese words by Ary Barroso
English words by Ray Gilbert

"Brazil" 1939 ("Aquarela do Brasil")

Music and Portugese words by Ary Barroso
English words by Bob Russell

All three songs were Brazilian hits imported to the U.S. by Hollywood in the 1940s. "Brazil" became a mainstay in Carmen Miranda's repertoire. Miranda had moved from Brazil to the U.S. in the late 1930s and her colorful routines quickly won her steady employment in movies and on radio. During World War II, maintaining the neutrality of Latin America was a serious concern for President Franklin Roosevelt, and he encouraged Hollywood to foster goodwill by giving prominent attention to Latin American themes, culture, and settings. Orson Welles made an abortive attempt to film "It's All True" in Brazil as part of this "Good Neighbor" policy. Walt Disney produced two movies that are shameless but entertaining pieces of "Good Neighbor" propaganda: "Saludos, Amigos" in 1943 and "The Three Caballeros" in 1944. Both interspersed live action with animation and included both Hollywood studio scenes and location footage from Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and other countries. Disney hired Ary Barroso, then a popular Brazilian singer, to assist with the scores of the two films, and offered to put him on contract afterwards, but Barroso preferred to return to Brazil.

Xavier Cugat and Carmen Miranda profited most from the popularity of Latin music in the U.S., but it established an acceptance on which both the mambo and cha-cha crazes and more serious artists like Machito and Tito Puente built upon. Miranda's version of "Brazil" was revived in the opening sequence of Terry Gilliam's 1985 film of the same name.
