The Girl from Rio: New and favorite versions of the bossa nova classic
Hi. It's Jessica McMillan, and this is my first swell cast. Welcome. I wanted to give you a taste of summer, bring you a little ditty that borrows from the golden age of Bossanova, which, to me, conjures this timeless sense of the beach, of desire and of summer longing.
