Dono de uma sonoridade original e moderna, João Gilberto foi o artista que levou a música popular brasileira ao mundo, principalmente para os Estados Unidos, Europa e Japão. Tido como um dos maiores influentes do jazz americano no século XX, ganhou prêmios importantes nos Estados Unidos e na Europa, como o Grammy, em meio à beatlemania.
