Bossa Nova
in the late 1950s and early ’60s, songwriters like the cl-ssically-trained antonio carlos “tom” jobim and the soft-voiced guitarist joão gilberto created a smoother, jazz-influenced version of the samba – which itself was a product of the nation’s poorer cl-sses. middle-cl-ss brazilians preferred the newer sound, which was dubbed bossa nova, or “the new way.” bossa nova is velvet sophistication atop a feathery five-against-four rhythm, and is most famously epitomized by gilberto’s “girl from ipanema.” american jazzmen like stan getz – who went on to collaborate frequently with gilberto and herbie mann visited brazil and brought the bossa nova to international attention. some commercial distortion followed, but bossa nova continues to influence modern brazilian pop and other regional styles today.

that slinky bossa nova had a real cool feel to it.
not only a word used by the pixies in the song “hang wire,” and a t-tle of one of their alb-ms, it is a style of popular brazilian music derived from the samba but with more melodic and harmonic complexity and less emphasis on percussion.
“every morning and every day, i’ll bossanova with ya!”
