Sita Sings the Blues is a new animated movie which tells the classic Indian story of Rama and Sita, using the music of 1920s jazz singer Annette Hanshaw. The movie is funny, touching, and beautifully illustrated. Best of all, the Annette Hanshaw songs aren't just background music, but are integrated into the story.
A ballad with a Latin feel, "Dans Mon Île" by Henri Salvador was credited by Antonio Carlos Jobim as being one of his inspirations. Jobim said that after hearing "Dans Mon Île," he had the idea to slow down samba rhythms and create the bossa nova sound.
