ANZCA Grade 6 Latin American - Wave

This tune is written by the great Bossa Nova composer Antônio Carlos Jobim. You might know his classic The Girl from Ipanema.

Wave sounds like it's about a very gentle wave at the beach - perhaps it's about watching the tide go in and out while chillaxing under a big umbrella.
