Bossa Nova is a terrific album by The Pixies
download The Girl From Ipanema by Joao & Astrud Gilberto , original version and you will know..

Sure, just go to any department store elevator. lol
but really, bossa nova is basically jazzed up samba music.the most popular bossa nova artist is Antonio Carlos Jobim

You know, I don't think I've ever been in an elevator with music pumped in. (Maybe it's not a NY thing.) That's old school, right? I mean, you don't hear that any more, right? The only music I've ever heard in an elevator is when I'm listening to my Walkman.

It´s brazilizan music based from Samba
rhythms but slower,more ballad & smoother.
The bossanova had it´s major breakthough 2 the
mainstream audience during the 60's
when Jobim & Astrud Gilberto had major hits.
Also a lot of jazzmusicians like Stan Getz
incorporated the bossanova into their style.
