Bossa Nova

Bossa nova is one of my favourites genre in music. Commonly, this kind of music is performed in slow tempo and rich harmony. Bossa nova has a brazillian’s, jazz, and latin’s rhytms. Bossa nova songs usually played by several instruments like bass, guitar, piano, drum, and percussion. Percussion give the samba or latin feel. I love to feel the touch of bossa nova. The bossa nova legends are Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Henri Salvador, and many more. In this era, Lisa Ono, the japanese artist has become the bossa nova’s star. She has a jazzy and beautiful voice. Bossa nova has a good relationship with Jazz so bossa nova needs a good improvisation to make the music more lively. Bossa nova gives us a calm, relax, and peace situation. I think everybody will like this kind of music and I can’t stop enjoying it.
