According to Wikipedia, Bossa Nova was formed in Brazil in 1956 by Joao Gilberto, husband of Astrud Gilberto. This may or may not be true but I don't think that anyone could deny the influence that Astrud Gilberto had within the community. There are some singers who evoke a certain quality in you. When I listen to Astrud Gilberto, all I want to do is sit back, relax and smile. Her voice and music take you to the bustling beaches of 1950's Rio de Janero. If you are looking for an escape, this will do it.
