CHRIS HO BAND notes on THE BOSSA NOVA Probably some of the world's most beautiful music comes from Brazil. After listening to bossa novas and sambas, it is most difficult to deny as a listener or player. Romantic, melodic, harmonically rich and totally compelling. Just the rhythm alone, the beat, can inspire so much music from beautiful ballads to bossa rock lounge grooves!
