Do you know what is Bossa Nova?
You are listening to "Manhã de Carnaval " Luis Bonfá and  Tom  Jobim ,". 
 
 
Bossa Nova is a gently lyrical music which melodies are generally relaxed and intimate .It gained worldwide attention through "Black Orpheus " a film that featured the music of composers Jobim and Luiz Bonfá, making Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luis Bonfa international stars.Black Orpheus was the  winner in 1959 Cannes Film Festival(  Oscar's Best Foreign Film, and a Golden Globe winner) . It was based on the Orpheus-Eurydice legend but updated and played against the colorful background of Carnival in Brazil   

   
During early 1960s, American jazz musicians embraced Bossa Nova. The result was a complex musical interaction in which Brazilian musicians drew upon the conventions of American jazz, and American musicians adopted the rhythms and approaches of Brazilian music. Stan Getz, Charlie Byrd collaborated on Jazz Samba (1962), which included a hit version of the Jobim composition "Desafinado." . In 1963 Getz, Gilberto, and Jobim recorded the classic Getz/Gilberto album, introducing perhaps the best-known bossa nova song, Jobim's "The Girl from Ipanema."
