Unchallenging Bossa Nova covers (to play at weddings) that don't suck.

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed

So, a cousin is getting married in a couple of weeks and he asked me if I could find some Bossa Nova covers to play for an hour or so before the band starts. There's a trillion bossa goes rock and pop compilations and I very rarely find something worthwhile in there. The most popular the better I guess.

I'm not getting paid or anything so I might just play those Nouvelle Vague albums or go for some real bossa and call it a day but maybe in the future this thread might help someone. If I find something myself I'll report back.

dude you should learn joao gilberto's "undiu" because the whole sung part is humming and the guitar part is p simple as far as chord changes go. find the tab, listen to it, do the damn thing.

what? No, sorry... I think you misunderstood. I meant unchallenging for the listener. I'm playing pre-recorded music.

I meant like these sort of 'bossa' versions:

I'm searching for good bossa or samba or latin jazz versions of rock / pop standards.
