About the building

Rua Nascimento Silva, 107 is one of Ipanema's most famous addresses: the home associated with Antônio Carlos (Tom) Jobim in the early 1960s, at the height of the bossa nova movement.

A commemorative plaque marks it as the spot where Jobim worked during those years. It sits a few blocks back from the beach on a quiet residential street that became shorthand for the Ipanema of the bossa-nova era.

Address: Rua Nascimento Silva, 107, Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro
