It was the summer of 1962. The poet Vinícius de Moraes was meeting his friend Tom Jobim at the Bar Veloso in Ipanema. This neighborhood was becoming fashionable. For years it had been an isolated fishing area, until a tunnel was built to connect it to downtown Rio de Janeiro, which caused many young people to move to Ipanema beachfront because it was cheaper. Many were musicians who played at the botecos, the bars in the area, improvising new rhythms. De Moraes and Jobim were leading a musical revolution, that of the birth of the new bag, along with people like Salvador de Bahia singer João Gilberto, who had come to live in Rio. Bar Veloso was just an ordinary place on a corner of Montenegro Street. That couple went because it was close to Jobim's apartment, for another reason. It was here that they saw a brunette girl walking toward the beach who used to buy tobacco every day at the bar. Every day they had a coffee or a glass of wine, she would pass by. And thus, the most famous Brazilian song was born: Girl from Ipanema.
