Bossa nova is a style of Brazilian music that draws its inspiration from samba-the dance music born of a fusion of West African and Portuguese rhythms. On Samba Bossa Nova, contemporary Brazilian artists such as Jairzinho Oliveira (son of Brazilian samba and bossa nova star Jair Rodrigues), Rita Ribeiro, and Rosa Passos revisit and reinterpret the sounds of their parents' era to form something new: a "nova bossa nova!" Approximate running time 46:00.
