After the first Bossa Nova song, ìBim-Bom,î the world of music changed forever. Bossa Nova, a form of music, exploded from Brazil. Bossa Nova grew out of Samba, but the new style was more complex, with less percussion, and while Samba was born in the humble shanty towns of Rio De Janeiro, Bossa Nova emerged from the upscale beachside neighborhoods . Born in the heart of Jo„o Gilberto in 1956, it attained popularity by 1958, due to the tireless musical outbursts of Vinicius de Moraes and AntÙnio Carlos Jobim. In all this musical craze lasted six epic years, from 1958 to 1963. Initially, only college students and aspiring musicians appreciated it, but, over the years, it developed many fervent fans. Jazz musicians, too, could not stay away, and while some shunned it, others developed a Bossa Nova like style known as ìcool jazz.î Moreover, Gershwin, a master of a more classical style, found the Latin rhythm irresistible and paid homage to it in his Cuban Overture. Today the epic era of Bossa Nova continues to live on at WorldTVRadio Tuner and you can still listen to the works of artists like Dorival Caymmi who recorded Saudade de Bahia and Elizete Cardoso who recorded Chege de Saudade. You can also relive the nostalgia evoked by the lyrics of Vincius de Moraes and the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim in their unforgettable album, CanÁ„o do Amor Demais.
