Today’s BMoF will continue to celebrate the life and work of the great Oscar Niemeyer. As it happens, he had his first foray into music at age 102, writing a beautiful text which was then put into music by the talented young samba-man Edu Krieger (who will get his own BMoF very soon!). The song is called ‘Tranquilo com a vida’, something like ‘In peace with life’, which pretty much describes Niemeyer’s own attitude towards life, and was recorded by Krieger himself.
Here are two videos of the song, one with the studio version, and a ‘domestic’ one at Niemeyer’s own house. Here is someone who clearly enjoyed life to the fullest!
