"A Nível de...", by João Bosco (Bosco/Blanc)
We're celebrating the 80th birthday of João Bosco, born on July 13th, 1946, in Ponte Nova, Minas Gerais. "A Nível de..." is my favourite Bosco song, released on his ninth album, Comissão de Frente, with lyrics by Aldir Blanc, using humor and irony to address the frustrated attempts of two couples to resolve their marital problems.
The song pioneered more open discussion of sexuality, and to top it off, Bosco presents his instantly recognizable signature guitar as if it combined percussion, bass, and melody into a single instrument. While Bosco crafted highly inventive melodies and harmonies, Aldir Blanc crafted lyrics filled with characters, irony, and social commentary.
