Fino da Bossa

My personal archive of bossa nova, brazilian music and culture that reinvents itself through a fascinating rhythm.

“Bossa Nova, feeling out of place, picked up its stool and guitar, and quietly left. Luckily, it had somewhere to go: the world.”
– Ruy Castro

“When João Gilberto accompanies himself, the guitar is him. When the orchestra accompanies him, the orchestra is also him.”
– Antônio Carlos Jobim

“How wonderful it is to have a great poet, like Vina, sitting at our table at our disposal to write lyrics for us.”
– Antônio Carlos Jobim
