Bossa nova
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre
In Rio de Janeiro, from 1958 the guitarist and singer João Gilberto and the composer Antônio Carlos Jobim created bossa nova: a soft, restrained version of the samba, with jazz chords and a singing voice that almost whispers. Bossa nova is Brazilian and not Afro-Cuban; the rhythm is different and so is the mood. Through the American saxophonist Stan Getz the style became popular in the United States: Getz/Gilberto (1964), with The Girl from Ipanema sung by Astrud Gilberto, became a hit far beyond the jazz audience.
Listening
Listening tip. In The Girl from Ipanema, hear the soft bossa rhythm on the guitar, the jazz chords and the vocals that almost whisper, followed by Stan Getz's saxophone.
