Welcome!
Six decades seems like a long time, but it turns out that it’s exactly what was needed for Bossa Nova to musically morph from African, European, and American roots into the iconic song form that’s loved and enjoyed worldwide. So this week it’s a look back at the songs that started it all..back in 1958!
