Antonio Carlos Jobim is one of the most celebrated and influential Latin American musicians of all time. Largely credited with the creation of Bossa Nova (an amalgam of samba and ‘cool jazz’), some of his songs have become all time classics, famous throughout the world, including ‘The Girl from Ipanema’, ‘Desafinado’ and ‘A felicidade’.

‘Lamento no Morro’ first appeared in 1956 on the album ‘Orfeu da Conceição’. Originally a play by Vinícius de Moraes, ‘Orfeu da Conceição’ was set to music by Antônio Carlos Jobim who also conducted the 35 piece Grande Orchestra Odeon featuring legendary musicians, Roberto Piava on vocals and Luiz Bonfá on guitar.
