Q. What's the difference between Bossa Nova and Bossa Nova Jazz? A. Bossa Nova is first and foremost a Brazilian music style.
For Bossa Nova itself, there is straight Bossa Nova, and there’s also Bossa Nova Jazz. Here’s examples of each: Bossa Nova Jazz: This is a fusion of Bossa Nova and Flamenco styles: This track is halfway between the Bossa Nova and Bossa Nova Jazz
because of the jazzy sax: Latin Jazz is not Bossa Nova because it is generally not originated in Brazil. It is a combination of Latin music styles plus Jazz styles. Although Brazil is in Latin America, it has a definitely distinct and separate music culture that originates from Portugal and Africa, whereas Latin music originates generally more from Spanish and Caribbean styles with lesser African influences. --- |
