Tropicology - Episode 112: Bossa Nova
The show theme today is more seasonally appropriate sounds for the fall weather, but this time harvested from Brazil, an unlikely spot for autumn music since much of the country is in the tropical zone and does not experience that season. For me, fall has always been a time when I like to hear melancholy music, and the melancholy vibe is a common element in Brazil’s first major musical export to the world, the Bossa Nova. Today we are going to hear a sampling of Brazilian Bossa Nova sounds, especially tracks that were not hits in the US back during our own bossa nova craze. Everything today is vintage music from the 1960s and 70s, with a focus on the early 60s, the height of the bossa nova movement. Along the way I’ll be talking about the origins and the characteristics of the bossa nova sound.
