Presence of Musical Style with Bossa NovaBossa Nova is a must. There is nothing more suitable for chilling lounges, classy venuesbeachfront areas.

United Arab Emirates -- Free-Press-Release.com -- Dec 14, 2016 -- The giant SouthAmerican country was experiencing the euphoria of economic blooming after WorldWar II. Over the "Golden Years" optimism wave, a group of young musicians andcomposers from the upper middle class of Rio de Janeiro began to look for somethingreally new and capable of escaping the classic opera style that dominated the artisticscenario. Young, free and bold, the artists believed that Brazil could influence theworld with its culture, and there it was. The new style did exactly what it wasexpected to.

For most critics, Bossa Nova was officially introduced to the public in 1958, with asimple compact released by guitarist João Gilberto. A year later, the musicianreleased his first LP, "Chega de Saudade". Funny fact, "Saudade" is substantive withno perfect translation to English. The closest we get would be something like "nomore missing you".

The album definitely checked presence of the musical style in the Brazilian scene.

With the new notes came new partnerships meant to shine and become verysuccessful, like the one between Tom Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes. The duocomposed "Garota de Ipanema", which is undoubtedly one of the most importantsongs in the history of Brazilian music, so much so it was considered in 2005, one ofthe 50 great musical works of humanity.

Soon the style debuted internationally. Among its most famous fans, Frank Sinatra,the blue eyes himself was crazy about the Brazilian new hit. In 1962, a historicconcert at Carnegie Hall in New York, which included Tom Jobim, João Gilberto,Oscar Castro Neves, Agostinho dos Santos, LuizBonfá, Carlos Lyra, among otherartists, pavedBossa Nova's way into international acknowledgment.

Bossa Nova's main characteristics are the development of singing, rather than theappreciation of the "great voice", and the strong influence of American jazz, which atsome point was an influence criticized by some artists. In the mid-1960s, a groupformed by Marcos Valle, DoriCaymmi, Edu Lobo and Francis Hime sought toreconnect Bossa Nova with samba, baião, and xote from the Northeast.

venues beachfront areas", says Daniela Queiroz, founder of Sounds of Brazil, anEvent agency in Dubai.

As most of the intellectual movements to be generated within a developing culture,the appreciated Brazilian musical style also became an important platform tocommunicate political issues during the military coup in 1964. The sweet notesbecame a symbol of resistance to repression. The dictatorship was consistentlycontested by the live music from the middle class across the entire country but moreexpressively in Rio de Janeiro, the stage where eyes were set.

It was hard times. Repression, suspicious arrests, deportations and unjustifiedimprisonments wrote sad chapters in the History of the beautiful country. In fact, themovement that originated the Bossa Nova ended in 1966, however, its chronologicalend did not mean the aesthetic extinction of the musical style, which served asreference for countless generations of artists and still delights and enchants thosewith sensitive ears and expanded musical taste, just like Tom Jobim, one of the mostinfluent artists of the time, "I was a beach boy, and I believe I learned my songs withthe birds of the Brazilian forests".
