Two famous Brazilian singers are Chico Buarque de Hollanda [b. June 19, 1944] and

Antônio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim [January 25, 1927 - December 8, 1994]. Both singer-songrwriters popularized 'bossa nova', a distinctive style of Brazilian music.

One of Chico Buarque's most famous songs is 'Cálice' ['Chalice']. It was composed in memory of Stuart Angel Jones [January 11, 1946 - May 14, 1971]. Jones was hideously tortured and killed by officers of the Brazilian military Dictatorship.

One of Antônio Jobim's most famous songs is 'Garota de Ipanema' ['Girl from Ipanema'].
