Description
This talk reassesses the iconic bossa nova album Getz/Gilberto fifty-five years after its recording, and considers the combination of musical, cultural and social factors that allowed this beautiful music to emerge in the Rio de Janeiro of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Bossa Nova Rio was a period of optimism and innovation, and its creative energies continue to inform Brazilian and global culture.
