Bossa nova is a genre of Brazilian music, which developed and was popularized in the 1950s and '60s and is today one of the best-known Brazilian music genres abroad. The phrase bossa nova means literally "new trend" (Portuguese pronunciation:[ˈbɔsɐ ˈnɔvɐ]). A lyrical fusion of samba and jazz, bossa nova acquired a large following in the 1960s, initially among young musicians and college students.
Etymology
In Brazil, the word "bossa" is old-fashioned slang for something that is done with particular charm, natural flair or innate ability. As early as 1932, Noel Rosa used the word in a samba:
The exact origin of the term "bossa nova" still remains uncertain. Within the artistic beach culture of the late 1950s in Rio de Janeiro, the term "bossa" was used to refer to any new "trend" or "fashionable wave". In his book Bossa Nova, Brazilian author Ruy Castro asserts that "bossa" was already in use in the 1950s by musicians as a word to characterize someone's knack for playing or singing idiosyncratically. Castro claims that the term "bossa nova" might have first been used in public for a concert given in 1958 by the Grupo Universitário Hebraico do Brasil (University Hebrew Group of Brazil). This group consisted of Sylvinha Telles, Carlinhos Lyra, Nara Leão, Luizinho Eça, Roberto Menescal, et al. In 1959, Nara Leão also participated in more than one embryonic display of bossa nova. This included the 1st Festival de Samba Session, conducted by the PUC's (Pontifícia Universidade Católica) student union. This session was then chaired by Carlos Diegues, a law student that Leão ultimately married.
Bossa nova was a fad dance that corresponded to the bossa nova music. It was introduced in 1960 and faded out in the mid-sixties.
Bossa nova music, soft and with sophisticated vocal rhythms and improvisations, is well suited for listening but failed to become dance music despite heavy promotion as yet another dance craze of the 1960s.
The style of basic dance steps suited the music well. It was danced on soft knees that allowed for sideways sways with hip motions. It could be danced both solo and in pairs.
There were about ten various simple step sentences published.
A variant of basic 8-beat pattern was: step forward, tap, step back, step together, repeat from the opposite foot.
A variation of this pattern was a kind of slow samba walk, with "step together" above replaced by "replace".
Embellishments included placing one arm onto one own's belly and waving another arm at waist level in the direction of the sway, possibly with finger click.

Es war die Zeit wilder Partys Jeden Samstag war irgendwas los Ich konnt' es kaum erwarten War vor Spannung ganz atemlos Da war der Schwarm aller Mädchen Und er hat mich ganz einfach gefragt Willst du nicht mit mir tanzen Und ich hab' den Schritt gewagt Beim Bossa Nova Bossa Nova War mein Herz im Sturm erobert Hab' kein Auge zugemacht Wir tanzten die ganze Nacht Bossa Nova, Bossa Nova Und er spielte Kasanova Er hat mich nur angelacht Schon war ich in seiner Macht Bossa Nova, Bossa Nova Als ich am Morgen nach Haus' kam War ich happy und müde zugleich Ich war total verzaubert Denn ich hatte mein Ziel erreicht Er sah mir tief in die Augen Und dann hat er mich endlich gefragt Willst du nicht mit mir gehen Und ich hab' na klar gesagt Beim Bossa Nova, Bossa Nova War mein Herz im Sturm erobert Hab' kein Auge zugemacht Wir tanzten die ganze Nacht Bossa Nova, Bossa Nova Und er spielte Kassanova Er hat mich nur angelacht Schon war ich in seiner Macht Bossa Nova, Bossa Nova Bossa Nova, Bossa Nova Beim Bossa Nova, Bossa Nova War mein Herz im Sturm erobert Hab' kein Auge zugemacht
The festival concludes Sunday, November 12 with some of the most enticing music on the planet in a program entitled “Bossa Nova and Beyond.” The show takes place at 4.00 p.m ... jazz and bossa nova tunes.
