The principal and most talented bossa nova group of the '60s, Tamba Trio started take form following the great singer Maysa Matarazzo and later the singer Leny Andrade in one season in boate Manhattan (Rio de Janeiro), acting to the side of Luiz Carlos Vines (piano) and Robert Menescal (violão).
First steady group of instrumental music in Bossa Nova, was pioneering in the use of microphones hung in the lapel in the presentations to the living creature, what the vocalizations executed for its integrant ones became more exciting.
Tamba Trio not only played a wide range of instruments but also contributed incredibly close harmony vocals. (Most bossa nova groups specialized in either vocals or musicianship, but not both.) Taking their name from a type of drum used by Milito, the trio formed in the early '60s and rode a wave of bossa nova popularity through the rest of the decade. From their self-titled 1962 debut, "O Barquinho" became a big hit in Brazil. One year later, their irresistibly swinging version of Jorge Ben's "Mas Que Nada" (recorded for 1963's Avanço LP) became their best-known hit -- it was used most famously by Nike in a 1998 World Cup television commercial. It acted intensely up to 1992, year of death of Eça.

Tamba Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O que eu sofri
Por causa do amor
Ninguém sofreu
Eu chorei, perdi a paz
Mas o que eu sei
É que ninguém
Mais do que eu
The lyrics of Tamba Trio's Consolação describe a deep and intense love, and the pain that comes with it. The singer confesses that he loved too much and suffered greatly because of it. He acknowledges that no one else has ever suffered as much as he has, yet ironically, he points out that nobody else has ever loved as much as he has. The singer's soulful and mournful vocals, along with the gentle and melodic instrumentation, convey a sense of heartache and despair.
The structure of the song is divided into stanzas, and the third line of each stanza is repeated, emphasizing the singer's pain and his feelings of isolation. However, the final line of each stanza seems to offer a glimmer of hope and acceptance. The word "consolação" means consolation or comfort, and the song seems to suggest that even in the depths of heartbreak, there is a kind of solace to be found in the intensity of one's feelings.
Overall, Tamba Trio's Consolação is a poignant exploration of love, suffering, and the resilience of the human spirit. It's a beautiful and evocative song that speaks to anyone who has ever been in love or experienced heartbreak.

lembrando que nessa época a gravação era de bate e pronto.
Não tinha como afinar voz e mto menos parar e voltar de onde errou. Isso sim é uma obra prima mesmo.
