Bossa nova is a style of Brazilian music, which was developed and popularized in the 1950s and 1960s and is today one of the best-known Brazilian music styles abroad. The phrase bossa nova means literally "new trend" or "new wave".

Bossa Nova

Bossa Nova is the music that makes a summers day go on for ever, and a winters night to fly by. That is all.

Takata -Is it AI?

Musician, little to no info about them, and It’s sad because i’ve been listening to their songs without even checking the artist on spotify.
Pics are definitely AI, at least some of them. Genre isn’t all bossa, but it does have some stuff, And overall brands themselves as bossa.

It’s sad i have to make a post about it.

TCHIC TCHIC, Les Marques

Call me crazy or guilty of sacrilege but i found this EPIC album called TCHIC TCHIC by Les Marques (as far as ive understood) which is a french album from 1963-1974. I mean i am learning french and i LOVE bossanova, so as soon as i discovered french brazillian-inspired bossanova i wanted to learn the lyrics. The thing is, i cant find these lyrics anywhere published at all. I cant even find what the songs are really talking about. I tried to search, but could any of you guys help me out??

Bossa nova about souls and seals?

I'm looking for a specific brazilian bossa nova song I cant remember the name of. Somebody told me that the meaning of the song or somehow related to the song was the belief that seals (as in the animal) are the carriers of souls. I've searched for bossa nova with the words foca (seal) and alma (soul) but can't find it. Any help would be much appreciated 🙏

Looking for a song!

This song samples a bossa nova song that plays at the end, and it's been driving me crazy trying to find it.

What is difference between MPB and Bossa Nova?

I love brasilian music but I'm a little confused on the genres. To me it feels like it's all blended together somehow. Can anyone explain to me the difference between MPB and Bossa Nova? If I'm listening to a song how can I tell which genre of the two it is

Jobim

One of my favorites from the pioneer of bossa nova. No other bossa nova music compares to the things he’s made in my opinion.

Unfortunately I am not talented enough to learn by ear; wondering if any musicians out there are feeling charitable and could gift us a transcription 🙏
