UNO Souls Chats are about highlighting beacons of light in the community that are doing beautiful things for themselves and for others in their communities from the bottom of their hearts. They are reaching out with acts of kindness and giving others hope. It’s an opportunity to be vulnerable about how things are going for them and what tools they are using to cope through these unprecedented times. It’s also an opportunity for them to talk about their business if they would like to— to let us know how they have pivoted— and perhaps how we can use their services at this time.

Here is our next Camino Musical selection: The Girl from Ipanema (La Chica de Ipanema in Spanish) (Garota de Ipanema in Brazilian Portuguese) is a well-known Brazilian song in the classic bossa nova style, that was composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim in 1962. According to Wikipedia, it is believed to be the second-most recorded pop song in history, after "Yesterday" by the Beatles. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2000, into the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001, and it was chosen in 2004 by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.

This is a home recording of my mother - Elsa Ayllon Vega Szeinfeld, playing the song on the piano. This is the first song that I have shared of my mother on the piano. The other songs have been of her playing the guitar.
