Paulo Bittencourt Plays Bossa Nova
In Vienna, Austria, I graduated in Opera Singing, but, to be honest, I don’t love opera as much as I love bossa nova, the music genre invented by Brazilian musical geniuses, such as João Gilberto, Antônio Carlos Jobim, Vinícius de Moraes and Baden Powell, at the end of the 1950s in Rio de Janeiro and, simply put, is samba mixed with jazz. Bossa nova’s most famous song is Garota de Ipanema (The Girl from Ipanema), which is also one of the most performed songs of all times.
