If you are a good music nerd, then you know that bossa nova is the bomb and the absolute best thing out there. From there you know about Caetano Veloso, Jorge Ben Jor, Astrud Gilberto and all the other giants from Brazil and that came about during that era. As such this is a depth first hit on bossa nova which every nerd worth its salt should appreciate.

While I love your enthusiasm for bossa nova there are probably better ways to share it with the others. Your argument is circular and starts with a dubious assumption. Thanks for the links though!

I can't upvote this enough! I've dedicated a good portion of my life to collecting Brazilian records from that era. Expensive, but rewarding hobby.

  I would love to see your top 10. One of my favorites: Elis Regina...

    Elis should be in every top 10 list! Top 10s are always tough, but I'll give it a shot. I have a penchant for the obscure, but if I were to consider total output, my list would be (I know I'm leaving some out)... - Arthur Verocai (anything he arranged) - Joyce Moreno - Jorge Ben - Milton Nascimento - Edu Lobo - Nara Leao - Elis Regina - Marcos Valle - Gal Costa - Joao Donato And a bonus top 5 groups - Tamba Trio - Novos Baianos - Azymuth - Quarteto Em Cy - Dom Salvador's groups (Rio 65, Salvador Trio, etc.) For a deep dive into the obscure stuff, I used to do a podcast from my collection. Lots here to keep anyone busy. https://novedos.com/ https://novedos.com/

      Thank you very much for taking the time for this, several new names that I had not yet run into so some interesting times ahead.
