London Bossa Nova Festival 2008
Bossa Brazil and The Brazilian Tourist Board are bringing Bossa Nova back, yeah!
If you travelled back 50 years to a flawless golden beach somewhere in Brazil, then you'd find yourself surrounded by a cocktail of Samba and Jazz, caiprinha in hand, listening to the very first beats of the Bossa Nova revolution.
Lucky, lucky you.
However, 50 years later,
across the Atlantic Ocean, it's a movement not forgotten. A genre as unique and creative as it ever was. From the instantly stirring Girl From Ipanema to the talents of Bebel Gilberto and Gilles Peterson; the music lives on...Lives on at the South Bank, on the 6th July (to check changes see www.bossa-brazil.com)
Organised by Bossa Brazil and sponsored by The Brazilian Tourist Board the aim is to present Bossa Nova to those already in love with the movement, and those soon to be.
On the 6th July comes a TOTALLY FREE open air festival, held on London's South Bank
. They'll be showcases from both up and coming artists to the sultry sounds of amazing French collective Nouvelle Vague.The event takes place on 6th July, 13.00 - 19.00, Coin Street, South Bank.
