World Music: David Byrne & Marisa Monte, "Waters of March"
(US/Brazil) Here is a classic song by Antonio Carlos Jobim. It's been covered by many artists, but this particular pairing seems quite appropriate, given the bilingual nature of the lyric. It's classic bossa nova, with its complex, descending chord passages, and its gentle, slightly rueful musing on mortality. This is from a performance in support of the Red Hot organization, which produces records and concerts to support HIV/AIDS research.
