What is Bossa Nova?

Bossa Nova is a Brazilian musical style that evolved from samba music. The style flourished during what is referred to as the Bossa Nova Movement in the late 1950s and early 1960s, but the genre has continued to exert its influence on jazz and pop music. The most notorious musician associated with Bossa Nova is guitarist Antonio Carlos Jobim, and guitar is the instrument most typically associated with the style. The songs are often short in length, and vocals (if present) are not projected loudly but are rather sung in a delicate, quiet style that adds to the music's lush beauty.
