Our Take

In the vast jungle of bossa nova music, Joao Gilberto's "O Amor O Sorriso E A Flor" shines like a tropical flower amidst a sea of musical mediocrity. With his iconic whispering vocals and masterful guitar playing, Gilberto effortlessly transports listeners to the streets of Rio de Janeiro, where the sun shines brightly and the caipirinhas flow freely.

From the sultry "A Felicidade" to the romantic "Doralice", each track on this album is a small masterpiece in its own right. Gilberto's smooth, velvety voice caresses each note with a delicate touch, creating a sense of intimacy that is simply enthralling.

The instrumentation on this album is equally impressive, with lush string arrangements and infectious rhythms that will have you swaying in your seat. It's impossible not to be swept away by the sheer beauty of Gilberto's music, as he effortlessly combines elements of jazz, samba, and bossa nova into a seamless blend of sound.

"O Amor O Sorriso E A Flor" is a timeless classic that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. Joao Gilberto may no longer be with us, but his music lives on in this exquisite album. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen - you won't be disappointed.
