"Aquarela do Brasil" is the original title of the song commonly known as "Brazil." Written in 1939 by Ary Barroso, it was voted in 1997 as Best Brazilian Song of the Century by a jury of experts assembled by the Brazilian Academy of Letters. This is one of my favorite versions, from Jobim's 1970 album, "Stone Flower." The musicians include Eumir Deodato, Joe Farrell, Hubie Laws, Ron Carter and Airto Moreira. (By the way, Aquarela is Portuguese for watercolor.)
