Among other things, Rio is world-famous for its pristine white-sand beaches, the most well-known of which are Ipanema and Copacabana, probably owing to a couple of catchy tunes of yesteryear (although the song about the latter was really about a NYC nightclub).
An excellent a cappella version of "Girl from Ipanema" was posted previously, and Barry Manilow's disco-era "Copacabana" can be recalled here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pth79-bpgGs Stuck in the shadows of these two iconic beaches, however, is Leblon, situated on the western stretch of Ipanema and separated by an almost unnoticeable canal leading to a lagoon in Zona Sul. Alas, Leblon awaits its song.
