THE
FESTIVAL
Celebrating 60 years of Bossa Nova
BOSSA NOVA is one of the most elegant and beautiful music styles
created in the 20th century in Brazil as a combination of Brazilian samba and
American jazz. It was founded and popularized in the late 50’s and 60’s and today is the best-known Brazilian music genre in the world. The phrase Bossa Nova means literally “new trend”, “new wave” or “fashionable
way”.... In Brazil, the word “bossa" is an old-fashioned slang for something
that is done with particular charm…Bossa Nova was created and
developed by such legends as Antonio Carlos Jobim, João Donato, Carlos
Lyra, João Gilberto, Roberto Menescal, Marcos Valle, Caymmi family...
After the historic Bossa Nova concert at Carnegie Hall in 1962, Bossa Nova
became one of the world’s most fashionable and sophisticated music styles
and remains as such until today. It has been an important part of the
repertoire of Frank Sinatra, Ells Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Stan Getz,
Herbie Mann, Cannonball Adderley, Sarah Vaughan, Diana Krall, Tony
Bennett, Paul McCartney, Sting, Charles Aznavour, Julio Iglesias, Dean Martin…
2018 marks the 60 years of Bossa Nova, widely celebrated in many
countries. We have been presenting Bossa Nova around the world for
many years and it is our honor to produce The First “VIVA BOSSA NOVA”
Miami International Festival from October 24 to 28, 2018, which, as we very
much hope, will become an important spot on Miami’s cultural map for
many years to come…
