Bikini History Part I

Early Rome & the Body
To Samba, they added Jazz to create
"the new beat"

It was the
"whisper heard around the world."

Bossa-Nova can be translated as "the new beat" or "new wave". Antonio Carlos Jobim is credited as naming the Bossa Nova to describe João Gilberto'snew musical style, although a few even give him single-handed credit for creating the rhythm from his earlier collaboration with the multi-talented playright, Vinicius de Moraes, when the two collaborated to create the songs for his musical "Black Orpheus or Orfeo Negro." João did record the first song, Definado [Out of Tune], written by Jobin in July 1957, which first presented the defining signatures of his guitar with violao gago (stuttering guitar) and canto flado (spoken singing)singing style.
