Bossa Nova Jazz

Bossa Nova Jazz is a style of Brazilian music that combines elements of jazz and traditional Brazilian rhythms. It originated in the late 1950s and early 1960s in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is characterized by its laid-back, relaxed feel, its syncopated rhythms, and its use of the guitar as the lead instrument. Bossa Nova Jazz is often seen as a precursor to modern jazz-fusion, and its influence can be heard in many contemporary jazz styles.
