Johnny Alf.
It's weird how the English article for Johnny Alf talks so much more about his real impact on creating bossa nova in bars since the early 1950s, and if AllMusic's page[1] cited on his page is to be believed, since THE year 1950, and with Tom Jobim, João Donato and João Gilberto playing with him in gigs in bars.
If he's important enough to get a New York Times article[2] written about him, i feel he more than deserves at least a mention in this article!
Also, I see in his own article citations to Bossa Nova: The Story of the Brazilian Music That Seduced the World by Castro, that talk about his interactions and clear inspiring of the 3 mentioned artists, but i don't have the book so i'm not certain how to cite the right sources without fear of being deleted by someone.

Absence of vocal vibrato
Shouldn't we mention the almost universal absence of vocal vibrato in bossa nova singing, which seems to be one of this genre's hallmarks? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 23:29, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
