Toquinho Essentials

His smooth blend of mellow guitar chord progressions and sweet vocal harmonies is a match made in bossa nova heaven. The mustachioed singer and Paulinho Nogueira-taught guitarist Antonio Pecci (a.k.a. Toquinho) rose to prominence during the height of bossa nova with the release of his 1966 debut album, O Violão de Toquinho. The now-iconic musician wouldn't experience tremendous success until the turn of the decade with his hit song “Que Maravilha,” featuring fellow Brazilian Jorge Ben Jor.
