Chega de Saudade (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈʃeɡɐ dʒi sawˈdadʒi]) is the debut album by Brazilian musician João Gilberto and is often credited as the first bossa nova album. The title can be translated roughly as "enough with longing", though the Portuguese word saudade carries with it more complex meaning. The album continues to receive high critical praise in the 21st century (see accolades below).
