	Bossa Nova, Samba, Choro & MPB Song Words and Music Authors - Jobim, Gilberto, Vinicius
		The period of Bossa Nova began in the middle 20th century, also leaning on the existing Brazilian styles.
		This music was strongly supported by Ary himself and played by Bonfa, Caymmi and others, but the best known name and probably the greatest Brazilian composers of all times, considered often as the inventor of this music was Antonio Carlos Jobim.
		The latter had by the end of his life been devoted to Bossa Nova and is by now probably best known by his bossa interpretations that he did together with Jobim, Bonfa, Gilberto and his wife Astrud.

	Bossa Nova Home and Abroad
		Bossa Nova altered several stylistic parameters, seeking dynamic integration of melody, harmony and rhythm while de-emphasizing the vocalist as the center of attention.
		Emphasizing the links between jazz and Bossa Nova, he argued that the music of Jobim and his associates was a culturally estranged product that contributed to the alienation of the Brazilian public by turning away from the samba, the true tradition of the people, and by encouraging adulation of North American values.
		Bossa Nova became a permanent part of the jazz repertory, to judge by the number of compositions by Jobim in the "real book", the collection of lead sheets and charts professional musicians most often consult.

	For bossa nova, he loves NY - The Boston Globe
		Steeped in the gentle cadences, transparent textures, and modern jazz harmonies of bossa nova, his music is unmistakably Brazilian, but his sound seamlessly embraces a myriad of influences.
		Although the style has been largely eclipsed in Brazil since the mid-1960s, bossa nova has undergone something of a revival in recent years, powered by groove-hungry European DJs and neo-bossa nova artists like Bebel Gilberto and Bossacucanova's Marcio Menescal, who have largely replaced deft syncopated guitar patterns with electronic beats.
		I make bossa nova with the old chords, the old Brazilian idea, but of course, I live in New York and I exchange experiences with different musicians.

		The Bossa Nova was first heard in small clubs and Cafe's in the beachfront districts of Rio de Janeiro* around 1958.
		The dance originated around 1960 and was somewhat popular by 1963 as people were trying to dance to the Bossa Nova, however the music was much more popular than the dance due to it's hasty commercialism of releasing the music without a dance to go with it.
		People for some reason thought of the Bossa Nova as a listening or concert type music rather than a dancing music overall which may have been the result of the White House and Carnegie Hall concerts shown on TV as well as not having a dance to dance it.
