Bossanova (2cd)
Bossa Nova revolutionised the world in the '60s but the revolution was already bubbling from the late '50s. This compilation is chronicling the birth of the movement. Featuring key artists like Joao Gilberto, Vinicius de Moraes, Elis Regina, Elza Soares, as well as more cult musicians like Orlann Divo, Johnny Alf and Celso Murilo. 'Bossa Nova' is the perfect mix of early bossa and samba cançao (with its more relaxed samba singing). Tune up to the cool French sounds of the bossanova. Compiled by the Wewantsounds clique, this 2CD set features 40 tracks with an essay with track by track analysis from French journalist Jacques Denis.
