Joao Gilberto - Chega de Saudade (180g Virgin Vinyl)
Chega de Saudade (1959) by João Gilberto is considered the birth of bossa nova, a subtle but revolutionary reimagining of samba that reshaped Brazilian music and influenced jazz and pop worldwide. With its understated guitar patterns, intimate vocal delivery, and minimalist arrangements, Gilberto’s style contrasted with the big, brassy sound of traditional samba schools, creating a new, modern coolness. The album features Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes’s compositions—most famously the title track Chega de Saudade—along with classics like Desafinado and Bim-Bom, where Gilberto introduced his now-iconic syncopated guitar rhythm.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR RECORDS
Always handle your vinyl by its edges and label, avoiding fingerprints on the grooves. Before and after each play, gently clean the surface with a carbon-fiber anti-static brush or a dedicated record-cleaning solution to remove dust and debris. Store records upright in their sleeves, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight to preserve sound quality and prevent warping..
