I Love Bossa Nova -- A Nu Bossa Nova Collection

Various
Add to Cart$9.99 ... CD
CD (Item 495802) Afro Baile, 2009 -- Condition: New Copy

Way more than just your standard bossa collection -- as the set's overflowing with fresh gems from the global underground -- a really great array of contemporary bossa nova numbers, a good deal of which we've never heard before! Despite the "nu-bossa" in the title, most instrumentation here falls along traditional lines -- great percussion, jazzy piano, and lots of warm acoustic elements -- plus some occasional electric bits too -- all delivered with a gentle, airy sort of groove that really lives up to the inspiration of classic 60s bossa. Production is usually pretty laidback too, which gives most of these tracks a nicely earthy feel -- none of those too-smooth modes that can sometimes get in the way with a contemporary bossa set. Most tracks have a female lead singer, and titles include "Na Rede" by Bel Maia, "Processo De Feitura" by Maira Martins, "Uma Quase Valsa Para Horacio" by Daniela Rezende, "Yemanja" by Ana Paula Albuquerque, "Meu Rumo" by Malu Von Kruger, "Constatacao" by Ana Cascardo, "Vidigal" by Vanessa Pinheiro, "Beat Da Bossa" by Simone Pelissari, and "E Preciso Perdoar" by Jenny Chi & ChiBossa.  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
