Ah you have a great taste in music, man!Originally Posted by footlose
Err.. I'm sorry. But you have to do your research next time if you don't mind. Just so I won't be posting links to other websites, I'll be copying a few tid bits about real Bossa Nova. (Not Sitti Navarro style; she's terrible!)Originally Posted by balut_man
Bossa Nova is a style of Brazilian music created by Vinicius de Moraes, Antônio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto and was first introduced in Brazil in 1958, with Elizete Cardoso's recording of Chega de Saudade on the Canção do Amor Demais LP. Composed by VinÃ*cius de Moraes (lyrics) and Antonio Carlos Jobim (music). The song was soon after released by Gilberto himself.
With João Gilberto as "guru", Bossa Nova acquired a large following right away, initially by young musicians and college students. Since then, people of all ages and walks of life have become admirers of the style. Although it lasted only six years (1958-63) of intense activities, this musical movement left an indelible mark. The musical style evolved from samba but is more complex harmonically and is less percussive. The influence on Bossa Nova of Afro-American jazz styles such as cool jazz is often debated by historians and fans, but a similar "cool sensibility" is apparent.
Bossa Nova is most commonly performed on the nylon-string classical guitar, played with the fingers rather than with a pick. Its purest form could be considered unaccompanied guitar with vocals, as exemplified by João Gilberto. Even in larger jazz-like arrangements for groups, there is almost always a guitar that plays the underlying rhythm.

There is no such way that Bossa Nova could be compared to *cough* Bisrock songs or *cough* Pogi Rock or whatever. Anyway.. As a footnote to this off-topic post, I would also like to say that Sitti Navarro is no way, not even an inch close to real Bossa Nova. There are some songs, and some moments she may sound like it.. But if you'd ask me, I mean, that's if you'd just ask.. She's good for a pop singer. Yep, I could call her songs Jazz or Jazz fusion or whatever. But please, for the love of the real gurus, don't call her the Queen of Bossa Nova. If you want Bossa Nova, listen to the artists mentioned above; Antonio Carlos Jobim, João Gilberto, etc.. Just download them if you want.
Now.. on-topic. I have a wide range and choice of music. Well, I listen to all genres except novelty songs.
