Antonio Carlos Jobin

Antonio Carlos Jobin was a Brazilian songwriter/composer responsible for the creation of the bossa nova style. His song "The Girl from Ipanema," has become a worldwide hit, with American composers like Stan Getz covering the song. The song I posted is called "Wave," which is the title track to Jobin's most successful album. The song is a prime example of the bossa nova style with its emphasis on the 2nd and 4th beat rather than the 1st and 3rd.
