If Ronaldo Boscoli was alive, yesterday 28/10, he would have turned 91 years old. Boscoli was pivotal for Bossa Nova as a jornalist and lyricist, apart from his busy personal love life dating Nara Leao, Maysa and marrying Elis Regina. His compositions with his dear friends Roberto Menescal and Carlos Lyra have the essence of bossa nova – they are witty, light, elegant… a celebration of the sea, poetry and youth. Happy birthday to our eternal and visionary dear bossa nova wolf! I am looking forward to celebrating his music at our Oceanos Concert this Saturday 2 Nov at The Ellington Jazz Club – Perth, Australia. See you there! Viva Boscoli!
