Obviously nobody thought to tell Jobim, Vinicius, Gilberto et all in '62 that only American Imperialists played "Garota de Ipanema" in F - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbhYxhV1YrA I mean how much more un-Brazilian could you get?
And Jobim having realised his previous mistake and corrected it to the more Kosher Brazilian Db (after an abortive flirtation with G on his Peri Rebeiro arrangement) obviously only played it F a second time in '67 under duress at the hands of noted Yankee Imperialist Frank Sinatra! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1igMShwCKgU
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story...

I saw Joao Gilberto at Carnegie Hall in 2000. He was, ahem, very good.
