This is Joao Gilberto - Joao Gilberto (1970), for Philips, also known as Joao Gilberto - En Mexico, since it was recorded in Mexico. There is a story behind Joao Gilberto two-year stay in Mexico. Joao was coming back to Brazil after living in New York from a few years and decided to stop in Mexico City for a concert. A one-night stay turned into a two-year and this album is the outcome of Joao Gilberto years in Mexico, featuring a couple of songs with lyrics in Spanish.
