Description
Bossa nova is a Brazilian music genre that emerged in the late 1950s, blending samba rhythms with jazz harmonies and a relaxed, intimate vocal style. The genre is characterized by its soft, syncopated guitar patterns and understated singing that creates a sophisticated, laid-back atmosphere. It became internationally popular in the 1960s, representing a modern, cosmopolitan side of Brazilian culture.
