Right now, it is drizzling here in Manila and the weather begs for a different kind of music. Times like this, I prefer to slow it down a bit and listen to some jazz, classical music, and bossa nova.
I'm listening to a couple of bossa nova songs. Who could be more bossa nova than the man himself, Antonio Carlos Jobim? He is a musical genius who deserve all the admiration and praise from us mere mortals. After all he gave us the gift of bossa nova!!!
Lisa Ono is another favorite artist of mine. She sings with so much depth and she breathes a new life to her covers and compositions. Who would have thought that 'Moonriver' will sound just as good in a slightly different accent. Bliss...
Sonia's version of 'Manic Monday'. Recommended listening even on a different day of the week. Thank me later.

@Inlemay in some songs, a bossa nova version works. Can't say it for all songs though.

You should give them a listen. The bossa nova version of 'Manic Monday' is awesome on so many different levels!

Sitti is actually good! Haven't seen her perform live though. Look up these artists and give them a listen. You won't regret it!

You should listen to it again. Bossa nova ain't simply a fad.
