João Gilberto

João Gilberto (born João Gilberto Prado Pereira de Oliveira on June 10, 1931 in the town of Juazeiro, Bahia) is a Brazilian musician and considered one of the co-creators, with Tom Jobim, of bossa nova.

Discography

João Gilberto's first recordings were released in Brazil as two-song 78-rpm EPs, between 1951 and 1959. In the 1960s, brazilian EPs evolved to the "double compact" format, and João would release some EPs in this new format, which brought 4 songs in a 45-rpm record.
