As a representative of minimalism, I was initially thinking of [[Tiersen]] with a piece such as ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E8B-SvBkOU La Maison]'' or ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv_znFyR4Dg La Démarche]''. I finally settled for ''The Deutsch Mark Is Coming'' (from Good Bye, Lenin!) until I finally decided to pick one from the real master of the genre, [[Philip Glass]]. More about this choice can be read in my [[Blog:Fabrice/Mad_Rush|blog]]. | As a representative of minimalism, I was initially thinking of [[Tiersen]] with a piece such as ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E8B-SvBkOU La Maison]'' or ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv_znFyR4Dg La Démarche]''.

I wanted a Bossa Nova in my list, reflecting my love for the Brazilian language (not Portuguese but how it is pronounced on a continent where it found enough space to sing and resonate). There are many enchanting songs and ''Garota de Ipanema'' is surely their best representative. The song is even good when sung in English. But it's only with the Brazilian expression that it becomes alive. | I wanted a Bossa Nova in my list, reflecting my love for the Brazilian language (not Portuguese but how it is pronounced on a continent where it found enough space to sing and resonate).

The composition from Buarque does not fall in this category, but appeared to me superior in all aspects as the symbol for how Brazilian music speaks to me.
Especially if you don't know them:
