The story behind

Canto de Ossanha, according to DoReSol

The melody of Canto de Ossanha, lasting 3:27, immerses us in a unique sonic universe. Behind this piece stands the figure of Marcus Vinícius, a key name in Brazil's music scene. Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1913 and deceased in the same city in 1980, his legacy is undeniable. He was not only a poet who gave life to the lyrics of many songs that are now references, but also an active performer in numerous recordings. His role as a Brazilian diplomat is also part of his rich career.

In the orchestration of Canto de Ossanha, the work of César Guerra-Peixe as an arranger adds a distinctive layer to the composition. This artist, also known for being the author of the famous Garota de Ipanema, once again demonstrated his mastery in shaping this piece. The city of Rio de Janeiro, epicenter of so many musical creations, is the backdrop to the life and work of Marcus Vinícius, an artist whose influence extends far beyond Brazil's borders.
