Chapter 782 Rosemary

Many musical styles have traceable origins.

Some are derived from a certain musical style, while others are drawn from different musical styles, combining the strengths of all schools.

But The Girl from Ipanema--

It appeared so abruptly and caught people off guard.

A song that makes it impossible to find any reason, any trace, or any origin.

Of course, they can still hear the most basic elements of mambo, samba and jazz, but it's like doing a math problem. You just write a premise but don't write the solution process, and then you get the answer with a so.

The reason--

Just because this song is a representative work of bossa nova music.

In Jiang Yang’s original world.

Bossa Nova is a new jazz style that originated in Brazil and combines Brazilian samba and American cool jazz. These two kinds of music, especially jazz, are mixed together.

He once challenged 1900 in "The Legend of 1900", was defeated by 1900 in a piano duel, and gave birth to the famous scene in which 1900 lit his cigarette with the piano. His prototype is a very important person in the history of jazz music.

This group of people entered the 20th century from the 19th century.

Because it was the same group of people who injected the same genes into jazz in the early 20th century, but just like identical twins, although they have the same genes, they have different expressions under the influence of two different worlds.

and so--

People in this world are confused when they see the jazz elements in this song.

Also.

In Jiang Yang’s original world.

Still starting from the dividing line of Debussy.

Then to Ravel.

They used a wealth of harmonic techniques in their music, such as ninth chords, eleventh chords, and other extended chords, as well as unusual harmonic progressions.

in the same period.

Jazz still relies on relatively standard chord progressions and cycles, and the harmonic progressions are very traditional.

Until bossa nova came along.

Its musicians drew on the harmonic ideas and innovations of Debussy and Ravel, transcending the harmonic limitations of traditional jazz to create a richer and more nuanced musical language.

And these——

The world line here has gone astray.

Ravel died during World War I and was relatively uninfluential.

This is also the reason why musicians in this world are confused.

They simply couldn't understand how the song's soft yet complex syncopated rhythm, simple yet varied melody, and unique yet rich harmonic structure suddenly appeared overnight.

This is almost a miracle.

So much so that——

These musicians have nothing to say except to come out and see God.

If you really want to say something, you have to write a long article or several papers to make it clear. But these things are not something Kong Jie can understand, so she knows that these people are just bragging, and then brush it off.

It’s more fun to watch these videos of foreigners’ confused reactions.

It’s also more intuitive.

There were even rappers who made reaction videos, calling Yu Ye awesome!
Obviously.

This rapper has praised the Big Devil a lot because of his anonymous broken beats, and his four-character Chinese pronunciation is very authentic.

This also let her know clearly that, damn, the big devil had secretly done something big.

in fact--

This momentum is still small.

The song actually received far less praise than that.

In Jiang Yang's mind, in some unknown corner of memory, he remembered this:
At the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Brazil.

A Brazilian supermodel, who had unknowingly influenced Jiang Yang's fetish and made him obsessed with Li Yu's long legs, walked towards a man who was singing with her long legs that were said to cost US$450,000 per step, stepping on the stars.

The song this man sang was——

The Girl from Ipanema.

This shows the status of this song.

It deserves this status.

As the treasure of bossa nova, in a sense, it is the first Brazilian song to become popular all over the world and the second most recorded song in history, second only to the Beatles' "Yesterday".

and so.

No amount of praise can be too much for this song.

of course.

Jiang Yang definitely doesn’t know Bossa Nova.

If he had only said the first two words, he might still be able to say something.

but.

If someone had told him that Rosemary was rich in bossa nova elements -

Then he probably knows what bossa nova is.

"Hey, what are you looking at? You've been holding your phone all night."

A colleague handed Kong Jie a can of beer.

While browsing the tweets praising Li Yu, Kong Jie had unknowingly returned to the hotel and had dinner.

"nothing."

She took the beer.

My colleague opened a beer and stood by the window looking at the night view outside the hotel.

Kong Jie turned on the music player on her phone and walked over with a beer.

After a day of welcoming guests with smiles, now is their real time to relax.

“Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking…”

Li Yu's lazy voice sounded, bringing sunshine, beach and sea breeze, and the two of them relaxed all of a sudden.

The colleague took a sip of wine and said, "I think I can understand the beauty of this song now."

Kong Jie smiled.

in fact--

As soon as she heard the song and Li Yu's sexy voice sounded, she fell in love with it.

There is a lot of romance in this song.

Very provocative.

only--

The image that emerged before her eyes was that Li Yu was wearing a suit, sitting in an open-air cafe with a sexy look on his face, watching a beauty in a bikini pass by, and then singing the song softly. The girl in the bikini was still herself.

Oh shit!

Kong Jie cursed herself, saying that she was cheap.

This song made her love for the devil more than pure.

morning.

On the way to the airport, Kong Jie recommended this song to her friends who commented on her Moments.

After getting off the plane, on the way back to the rental house, she was still recommending this song.

No matter what.

This song is naturally not to the taste of Chinese people.

"Rosemary" is still a niche.

This foreign song is even more imaginative.

Many people who asked about this song in the comments of her previous Moments and were enthusiastically recommended by her, after listening to it on the scientific Internet, most responded to her with polite "it's okay", "it sounds good", and "you are worthy of being the big devil".

Totally soulless.

Even if Meiyangyang is tired in the future, she will not call these people so as to prevent them from feeling involved.

of course.

Not all.

One of her classmates, whose online name is “Fat Sheep”, really likes this song. “Fuck, I just checked, this song by Yu Ye is awesome, it’s directly at the top of the trending searches on Brazilian social media!”

He also posted a screenshot with Portuguese text on it.

Kong Jie: "Do you also know Portuguese?"

Fat Sheep: "I don't understand. I used software to translate it while I was looking it up."

Kong Jie felt that this was thoughtfulness.

She asked Fei Yangyang to help translate the comments over there so that she could enjoy it, then got off the taxi. Then when she looked up, she saw the cafe where Jiang Yang had painted that morning.

To say Amway -

This coffee shop is the best place to recommend it.

The style of this song is naturally suitable for a coffee shop.

then--

She walked into the cafe.

The cafe was still deserted.

There were only two guests, one adult and one child, and the two women were reading books.

No coffee yet.

This made Kong Jie think that she should buy a few more cups of coffee to support the store and prevent it from going bankrupt.

otherwise.

She will never have the chance to see the big devil again.

When the store manager heard the sound of the wind chimes, he looked up and saw her, and greeted her with a smile: "You're back."

"came back."

Kong Jie put the suitcase aside, ordered a cup of coffee, and then started recommending songs. She said something like, "I heard a song abroad, sung by the Great Devil, which is very popular and is played in many coffee shops."

The store manager was easily persuaded by her and he put down his work and came over.

Kong Jie took out her cell phone and played this song for her.

Don't say it.

You’re right.

In the atmosphere created by this song, the store manager immediately felt that the value of the coffee he made had tripled!
The good student mom and instant noodles who were reading heard this song.

They also raised their heads.

 I would like to recommend Xie Ying’s album “Forget-Me-Not”.

  Chinese song.

  Using the bossa nova style, he sang cover versions of old songs such as Listening to Mom Tell Stories About the Past and Crescent Moon, which were very flavorful.

  Also.

  Maybe this style of music is not suitable for explosion, and it is a bit long-winded and trivial. I'm sorry, I won't write more about the specific content of this style of music later.
