about

Dindi was composed by the Brazilian composer Antônio Carlos Jobim in the mid 1960s, with Portuguese lyrics by Aloysio de Oliveria. English lyrics were added by Ray Gilbert.

This well-known jazz classic with an almost soft, lullaby character has also got a tragic background: Jobim wrote this piece especially for Brazilian singer Sylvia Telles whose nickname was Dindi. In the December of 1966, just a short while after Telles had recorded this piece with guitarist Rosinha de Valença, she was killed in a road accident in Rio de Janeiro.

This version has also got a dreamy, lullaby type quality. It starts with the verse played and sung freely and out of tempo with nylon acoustic guitar and voice.

The chorus has a smooth and moderate tempo without drums or percussion. The warm double bass and acoustic guitar carry the rhythm; the electric keyboard serves as a harmonic pad and the electric guitar functions as a counterpoint to the vocal.
