All those saucy cicada vibrations
mixed in with a crisp mockingbird beat
headline Earth’s bold Bossa Nova
midst the passionate fervor of sweet summer heat

Bossa Nova literally means 'new flair' or 'new trend' in Portuguese. Created in the late 1950's, it is basically a fusion of Samba and Jazz, so using traditional Brazilian rhythms but with more harmonically complex jazz harmony and more melodic dissonance. [www.thejazzpianosite.com]
