João Gilberto

Invented the bossa nova guitar rhythm in a bathroom in Bahia over eight months of practice, and became famously reclusive afterwards.

João Gilberto do Prado Pereira de Oliveira was a Brazilian guitarist, singer, songwriter and composer who was a pioneer of the musical genre of bossa nova in the late 1950s. Around the world, he was often called the "father of bossa nova"; in his native Brazil, he was referred to as "O Mito". In 1965, the album Getz/Gilberto was the first jazz record to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. It also won Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Individual or Group and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. Gilberto's Amoroso was nominated for a Grammy in 1978 in the category Best Jazz Vocal Performance. In 2001 he won in the Best World Music Album category with João voz e violão.
