All roads point to Joao Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfá (1922-2001), all three are musician /Ĭomposers who wrote the first Bossa Nova "A felicidade" for the 1958 (1959) film " Black Orpheus," Sidney Frey brought the music to the United States while Elvis Presley and songs like the " The Girl From Ipanema" made it a somewhat popular music.
The roots of the Bossa Nova music were created by young Brazillian musicians looking for a new way on an old theme. Charlie Byrd credited WMAL Radio Personality Felix Grant for introducing the Bossa Nova over the radio via Paulo Santos (Brazillian DJ). Although prior attempts at changing Brazils music happened before, None ever caught on except Gilberto's. Gilberto made a few albums and played Bossa Nova's at out door concerts in Rio de Janeiro. This was a much softer, smoother and dignified version of the the Samba. In its home of Brazil, the Bossa-Nova can be translated as "the new beat or new way." Antonio Carlos Jobim is credited as naming the Bossa Nova to describe João Gilberto's new musical style. The Bossa Nova was first heard in small clubs and Cafe's in the beach front districts of Rio de Janeiro around 1958.
