at a glance

in 1962, two of rio de janeiro's sons combined to create a song that would become one of brazil's most recognizable musical exports - garota de ipanema.

born in rio's tijuca neighborhood, and raised in the beachside neighborhood of ipanema, tom jobim went on to be the driving force behind the bossa nova musical genre - writing the music for garota de ipanema helped him to achieve worldwide fame.

just a few miles inland from ipanema, is gávea, vinícius de moraes's childhood neighborhood - both a poet and composer, moraes achieved great musical success, as well as writing the lyrics for his and jobim's timeless song. arrow-back     arrow-forward
