Bossa Nova is a style of Brazilian music popularised by Vinicius de Moraes, Antônio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto. Bossa Nova acquired a large following, initially by young musicians and college students.
Although the Bossa Nova movement only lasted six years (1957-63), it contributed a number of songs to the standard jazz repertoire.
In Brazil, to do something with «Bossa» is to do it with particular charm and natural flair. As yet, the exact origin of the term «Bossa Nova» remains uncertain. What is certain is that the term «Bossa» was used to refer to any new «trend» or «fashionable wave» within the artistic beach-culture of late 1950’s Rio de Janeiro.
