"The new beat" in your Sunday

March 4, 2006

"Bossa nova is a style of Brazilian music invented in the late 1950s by a
group of middle-class students and musicians living in the Copacabana and
Ipanema beachside districts of Rio de Janeiro. The name could be translated
as "the new beat" or "the new way." In Brazil, it became well known through
the record "Chega de Saudade," performed by Joao Gilberto and composed by
Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes. The record was released in
1958." (wikipedia > more at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bossa_nova)

Below a WONDERFUL website in English, when you can listen to "bossa nova"
songs and watch some videos from this musical movement.

I do recommend this site to all but specially to those who loves music.
