Our Take

JOAO GILBERTO / WALTER WANDERLEY / SERGIO MENDES - Bossa Nova: Four Classic Albums

If there was ever a compilation that got us dreaming of sipping caipirinhas on a beautiful Rio de Janeiro beach, it's this gem. With Joao Gilberto, Walter Wanderley, and Sergio Mendes on the bill, this box set is a Bossa Nova lover's dream come true.

Joao Gilberto's self-titled album kicks things off with his iconic minimalist guitar playing and smooth vocals. Tracks like "Chega de Saudade" and "Desafinado" transport you to a smoky Brazilian jazz club in the late 1950s.

Walter Wanderley's "Rain Forest" album brings a groovier, more experimental edge to the mix. His use of the Hammond organ adds a psychedelic twist to the Bossa Nova sound, making it perfect for a beach party under the stars.

And who could forget Sergio Mendes and his band Brasil '66? Their album "Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66" is pure sunshine in musical form. Hits like "Mas Que Nada" and "The Look of Love" will have you dancing in your living room like it's Carnival time.

Overall, this collection is a must-have for any Bossa Nova enthusiast. So pour yourself a caipirinha, sit back, and let the smooth sounds of Joao Gilberto, Walter Wanderley, and Sergio Mendes whisk you away to the golden sands of Brazil. Obrigado, music gods.
