hi
he's a singer from french guyana
he was into jazz and bossa and some funny songs too
actually he invented the bossa nova in 1956, jobim heard his song "mon ile" and realized it was cool to play down tempo samba with melodic lyrics
this guy was also a pretty good pétanque player, he used to practice this sport in st tropez in the south of france and in ile rousse, a cool city in the northwest of the island, my dad comes from there
cheers

I think life is all about living interestingly, if you live a short but interesting life it's most worthwhile. If long and interesting, it's even better!
