About Me |
|
| I'm Paul Sonnenberg. I live in Austin, Texas.
I've played guitar for 30 years, played bossa nova for 4. Although I don't speak Portuguese, I've adapted/translated 26 songs by Jobim and others into English. Here's a mostly complete list of the songs I've translated: A Banda (Chico Buarque) A Felicidade As Praias Desertas Bim Bom Briagas Nunca Mas Caminhos Cruzados Chega de Saudade Demais Discussão Estrada do sol l Eu Nao Existo Sem Voce Eu Preciso de Voce Esquecendo Voce Frevo de Orfeu Lamento no morro Ligia Look to the Sky Luiza Manha de Carnaval O Nosso Amor Outra Vez Retrato em branco e preto Samba de Orfeu Samba de Verão So em teus braços Solidão Sucedeo Assim I've begun uploading some videos of my songs in the video section here at MySpace. You can also see the videos I've made of my adaptations on YouTube. Hear and download more songs, read lyrics, hear my whole album, , etc at: http://www.GnomenclatureStudios.com I also love art films, art, music of all sorts, literature, and the biographies of creative eccentrics. |
