Bossa
Nova exploded in popularity in 1959 -- in Brazil with the success of Gilberto's
album Chega de Saudade and internationally with the release of Marcel Camus's
award-winning film Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus).
The soundtrack of the latter featured songs by Tom Jobim, Vinícius de Moraes,
and Luiz Bonfá. Read about bossa nova in The Brazilian Sound
