Bossa Nova-17 Original Albums

- Seventeen rare and classic original albums from Brazil in one inexpensive 10-CD-set
- All the music comes from original sources and has been digitally remastered
- Featuring all the early hits and stars like João Gilberto, „Tom“ Jobim, Luiz Bonfá, and many more

The late 50s brought a “new wave” (Portuguese: “bossa nova”) to Rio de Janeiro. It would later flood the whole world with its tender, gracious sounds. Bossa Nova was the result of the need felt by young Carioca intellectuals like Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes, and João Gilberto to create a calmer, more subtle Samba – a reaction to the American West Coast- and Cool-Jazz they admired. This 10-CD-set includes all of the important classics that shaped the genre and more than a few influential rarities.

This is more than an introduction to the wonderful world of Bossa Nova: Beginning with the first two albums by João Gilberto via the theatre-music to „Orfeo Da Conceicao“ and the soundtrack to the award-winning movie it inspired („Orfeo Negro“) on to rare and classic albums by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Luiz Bonfá, Sylvia Telles, Maysa, Elizete Cardoso, Laurindo Almeida, João Donato, and many more, this collection presents the subtle sounds that ruled the world right after Rock’nRoll and before the Beat Wave. But even more than those two, Bossa Nova has proven to be timeless – still there are new releases of Pop- or Rocksongs in Bossa-Nova-versions, the name itself guaranteeing a relaxed and sensual atmosphere, soothing yet seriously sexy. The authentic sound of this „New Wave“ was never before collected more thoroughly (and inexpensively) than in this set. Enjoy the originals, enjoy „Bossa Nova – The Cool Sound from Brazil“!
