Hello friends,
Bossa Nova 60 Years!
Come celebrate the 60th anniversary of Bossa Nova and a year of Bossa Magazine on Idealist Day! Bossa Nova, one of the most influential movements in the history of Brazilian popular music, that crossed borders and became known worldwide, celebrated its 60th anniversary in July 2018.
“Chega de Saudade” is a song written by Vinicius de Moraes (lyrics) and Antonio Carlos Jobim (music), in the late 50's and recorded by several artists, such as João Gilberto, Elizeth Cardoso and Os Cariocas. This song became one of the symbols of Bossa Nova, and its recording by João Gilberto on July 10, 1958, by the label EMI-Odeon, is considered the initial mark of this musical genre. “Girl from Ipanema” in turn traveled the world as the second most played song after the song “Yesterday" by the Beatles.
To commemorate this great milestone, the Brazilian Music Foundation (BMF), Bossa Magazine, and Asuos Productions in partnership with Brazilian Idealists in New York, ICA-NY, and Saphira & Ventura Gallery, will present on August 8th the Cultural Sarau - 60 Years of Bossa Nova, and one year anniversary of Bossa Magazine”
The event aims to disseminate Brazilian music and art and promote the integration of artists, institutions and the general public. The date chosen also has a special meaning because that is when Idealist Day is commemorated. This is a day in which people from all over the world come together to talk and put into practice ideas for a better world, acting on local initiatives in their respective communities.
In the program, in addition to talent shows and performances by renowned musicians, the event will feature the special participation of Roberto Menescal (singer/guitarist), one of the participants in the creation of the Bossa Nova movement, telling a bit about his participation in the history of Bossa Nova. Chat via Skype.
Come and be part of this historical celebration! Do you have a talent?
Come and join us!
