The Waters of March Project Introduction
The Waters of March is a song written and performed by famed Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim.
It is about torrential rains that wash away the summer in Brazil.
The lyrics form a brilliant collage of objects, emotions, and different circumstances that are arranged in a series of repeated descending notes like falling rain.
The nationally and internationally recognized artists chosen to participate in this project translate their selection of random words and phrases into visual art.
