About

Mixing Samba, Jazz and sophisticated lyricism, the sultry Bossa Nova sound was spawned in the beaches and bars of Rio, Brazil in the late '50s, and quickly seduced the world when anthems like 'The Girl from Ipanema' became huge international hits. This compelling documentary, filmed on location in Rio, and featuring rare live clips of Bossa legends' Tom Jobim and Astrud Gilberto, traces the legacy of the seductive Bossa Nova sound through interviews with the key players from the era including Sergio Mendes, Carlos Lyra and Paulo Jobim.
