 About "I Came From Bahia"
 
This old bossa nova standard (Eu vim da Bahia) by Gilberto Gil, which I translated for BLISSA NOVA, has a beautiful message of living life without concern. Singing the praise of the people of Bahia in Brazil, which is where Gil grew up, and how they sing and dance in the streets to give life a purpose, in an area that is economically very poor.

I love Peter's trumpet in the recording, and Glenn's bass has a beautiful touch of distortion in it.
