HI Arjan - I'll make this thread the request line - Admin 
Hi Michael,
I wondered if you're also going to write about the Bossa Nova craze of the early sixties?
It all started in Brazil, with music by Joao Gilberto (who passed away last year), Antonio Carlos Jobim and
lyricist Vinicius deMoraes, and quickly conquered the world, before an overdose of releases, especially from
the USA, saturated the market and well, the Fab took over. It was very popular in the Netherlands also,
and there were bars here in Leeuwarden where I live, where they specialized in Samba Jazz. One of my
favorite artists in the genre is German Saxplayer and composer Klaus Doldinger. He later scored Das Boot
and The Neverending Story, but delivered some fabulous Samba/Jazz records in the sixties.
After the Coup d'Etat in Brazil in 1964, the musical scenery changed, but creativity flourished despite of
the military dictatorship. Many artists though fled to Europe or the USA.
