日前萬大來電提及最近聽小野麗莎的Bossa Nova, 沒聽幾曲後, 就昏昏欲睡. 我也有相同的感覺.  是因為麗莎的歌聲? 或是Bossa Nova的曲風?

打擊樂的蘇老師又帶來幾張Bossa Nova的專輯來班上分享. 特別提到 "The Girl from Ipanema" 這首Bossa Nova的經典之作. 我在 youtube 找到了這段影片, 重現了 60 年代的 Astrud Gilberto 的清純歌聲和 Stan Getz 的迷人的薩克斯風. 所以把它轉貼在這裡和大家分享.

比起麗莎的版本, Astrud 的原味的伊帕內瑪的女孩, 顯得相當"清淡", 優雅中泛著淡淡的哀愁. 少了現代電子合成的華麗配樂，人聲顯得尤為重要.

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah

When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh

(ooh) but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovely
The girl from ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile - but she doesnt see (doesn't see)
(she just doesn't see, she never sees me,...)

中文歌手唱Bossa Nova歌曲的例子比較少，陳綺貞《還會是寂寞》中有Bossa Nova 歌曲，陳昇的歌也間中有Bossa Nova。范怡文也有唱 Girl from Ipanema. 這是種很舒服、好聽的音樂，不妨聽聽喔。

小野麗莎的唱腔和Astrud Gilberto的很相像, 只是聲音比Astrud的來得沉厚些, 來得更為慵懶甜美. 有人認為麗莎的Bossa Nova過於甜膩, 我覺得小野麗莎的Bossa Nova像夏日午後的涼風, 是最健康的催眠曲.

本來想用 5G 來錄 "Girl from Ipanema", 但因為曲子還不熟, 還抓不到那種在伊帕內瑪海灘的慵懶的感覺而作罷.  下次囉 ^_^
