Bossa nova Bossa nova is one genre of Brazilian music, which developed and was popularized in the 1950s and 1960s and is today one of the best-known Brazilian music genres abroad. The phrase bossa nova means literally "new trend" (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈbɔsɐ ˈnɔvɐ] ( )). A lyrical fusion of samba and jazz, bossa nova acquired a large following in the 1960s initially among young musicians and college students.[2] Since its birth, it has remained a vital part of the standard jazz repertoire. Origin of the term "bossa nova"[edit] In Brazil, the word "bossa" is old-fashioned slang for something that is done with particular charm, natural flair or innate ability. "O samba, a prontidão e outras bossas são nossas coisas, são coisas nossas" ("The samba, the readiness and other bossas are our things, are things from us"). The exact origin of the term "bossa nova" still remains uncertain. Origins and history of "bossa nova" musical style[edit] Instruments[edit] Structure[edit] Bossa nova and samba[edit]
