Anos Dourados (Looks Like December) Or Golden Years
Hello Music Lovers:
"Anos Dourados" (Looks Like December) or (Golden Years) is a wonderful song by Brazilian composers, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chico Buarque de Hollanda. (The Lyrics Were written by, Buarque and musically arranged by Jobim) during the early '60's.
This arrangement marks the third collaboration between Pino D'Isola and NYCGRIFF. I approached Pino to do the song because the lyrics and music seemed tailor-made for his rich baritone and his unique ability to vocally interpret the mood of a song.
Working with Pino is always a terrific experience for me; as I have admired his unique singing talents since the first time I heard him here at this forum. His many years as a professional certainly qualifies him to be regarded as one of greater singers of his generation and beyond.
The original Portugese lyrics were translated to Italian; as Pino is more comfortable singing in his native language. Music is a Universal language unto its own, so that has never been a problem for me.
Hopefully, you will find the song as pleasurable as I do.
