'The first autobiography of the goddess of Brazilian music, Joyce. She talks about Bossa Nova, Brazil, women, success, soccer, and more.'
Born in 1948 in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro. Singer-songwriter. Debuted with an album in 1968. Representative works include 'Feminina' and 'Água e Luz'.
'A valuable collection of essays by
Joyce, a popular female singer-songwriter in the Brazilian pop scene.'
● A memoir in which Joyce writes about the people she has met and events she has experienced from the 60s to the present, using a journalistic perspective and a style rich in humor.
● The author, Joyce (born 1949, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), has had her albums released in Japan, and for the past few years, she has performed at Blue Note every year. She has gained support not only from hardcore Brazilian music fans but also from jazz fans and music-loving office workers.
● In recent years, she has released new work through London's Far Out Recordings (run by Joe Davis) at the introduction of Marcos Valle. Her older works have also been reissued by London's Mr. Bongo label, making her popular in club scenes in both London and Japan. Additionally, because she has experience as a journalist, her writing is sophisticated, realistically depicting not only the music world but also the state of Brazilian society at the time.
● She spent her youth in Rio, the heart of the Bossa Nova heyday in the 60s. During that time, she developed deep friendships with artists who are also highly popular in Japan, such as Tom Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes, and introduces them while sharing personal anecdotes. Of course, there are also stories about her performances in Japan.
● Includes a related disc guide at the end of the book (supervised by Masato Aso).'
The book title comes from the lyrics of
"Desafinado" (Antonio Carlos Jobim - Newton Mendonca 1959)

'This is Bossa Nova
This is very natural
You don't know it, and you don't even try to feel it
Even those who are out of tune have a heart
When I took a picture of you with my Rolleiflex (camera)
It showed that you were terribly unfaithful'
"Que isso e Bossa Nova, Que isso e muito natural O que voce nao sabe, nem se quer pressente E que os desafinados tambem tem um coracao Fotografei voce na minha Rolley-Flex Revelou-se a sua enorme ingratidao"
Joyce Moreno - Desafinado
