BossacucaNova – Our Kind Of Bossa (Six Degrees)
February 23, 2014
Not your dad’s Bossa Nova
BossacucaNova is a Brazilian jazz trio known for combining bossa nova with electronic elements. Though the band explores new ways of making music, their sound remains firmly rooted in bossa nova and samba. BossacucaNova takes the already irresistibly dancey genre even further with synth and turntables, updating the genre but staying true to its fundamentals. Guest musicians appear on almost every track, often as vocalists. The band adapts their smooth, groovy backing to match the guests in each song.
