Comment:

How can a musical genre be so unassuming and yet sophisticated at the same time? Blame it on Antonio Carlos Jobim, a pianist and composer who was equally at home with the lilting samba beats of his native Brazil and the complex harmonies of French composers like Debussy and Ravel. Aided by the jazzy guitar of Joao Gilberto, the tender lyrics of Vinicius de Moraes and the wispy vocals of Astrud Gilberto, Jobim changed the world with his velvety “new wave” — the bossa nova. So whether your idea of bliss is playing beach soccer to the strains of “Mais Que Nada,” or sipping a cool caipirinha as “Corcovado” sends you into an exotic, alternative reality of perpetual romance, our collection of bossa nova Essentials is guaranteed to give you mas.
