Various - Bossa Nova Sound

Facts EU-only two CD collection. In the beginning, the term Bossa Nova, simply referred to a new way of playing and singing samba, incorporating some elements from Jazz music and with a pronounced softness, both in terms of musical and poetic presentation. Many contemporary critics praised the innovative Bossa Nova style and hailed it as the single most important event in Brazilian music history. On this CD set we have included songs by some of these pioneers, such as: 'Voce E Eu' and 'Ciume' by Carlos Lyra, 'Lamento Non Morro' and 'Samba Triste' by Lucio Alves. Naturally no Bossa Nova CD should be without the master, Joao Gilberto and we have showcased among his many tunes, 'Discussao', 'Doralice', 'Trevo de 4 Folhas' and the beautiful 'Chega de Saudade' which is arguably the first Bossa Nova song ever recorded.
