Agua de Beber is a Bossa Nova classic from Antonio Carlos Jobim's first album in1963.

Monday evening Jazz session with Chris. So grateful to Chris for playing beautiful Bossa Nova music from Sr. Antonio Carlos Jobim. When i grew up during the 1960s, this sweet, Brazilian cultural music made it's way to American television and radio, and i fell in love with it. Now, here's the wonderful story of this song from Wiki:
"Água de Beber" ("Water To Drink") is a bossa nova jazz standard composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim and originally recorded in the key of A minor, with lyrics written by Vinícius de Moraes. The English lyrics were written by Norman Gimbel.
The story is, as told by Kléber Farias, one of the engineers who helped build Brasília: In 1959, when the new capital was being built, the President of Brazil, Juscelino Kubitschek, invited Antônio Carlos "Tom" Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes to spend a season at Catetinho (the provisional presidential palace, made of wood) to compose a symphony that would be performed at the inauguration of Brasília.
One evening, Vinícius and Tom were walking near the wooden palace when they heard the noise of the water. They asked the watchman, "But what is that noise of water here?" The watchman replied, "Você não sabe não? É aqui que tem água de beber, camará." [Don't you know? This is where you have drinking water, buddy boy.][1]
At that moment, they learnt both the source of water and inspiration for the first song composed in Brasília. Kléber was one of the first to hear the song, sung by Tom and Vinícius at the city's only hotel, hours after composing it.
The Composer of Desafinado, Plays is the first album by Antônio Carlos Jobim. Released in 1963, the album features a dozen instrumentals arranged by Claus Ogerman, whose work would mark the beginning of a lifelong musical relationship with Jobim.[4]

Saw this in my sidebar, perhaps because of its superficial similarity to my own video. You are creating truly wonderful music.
