Bossa Nova is a style of samba, originating in Brazil. Over the years it has taken many forms and shapes and has been transformed many times. It has it's roots in Afro-Brazilian music. It was also a subtle form of protest music during the time of the military regime. Bossa Nova takes an important role in Brazil's cultural identity and history. 
This mix explores some different takes on the genre, with a slight focus on the international evolution it has taken. It's not an accurate overview over the genre, just some songs that I picked.

Backtearer & Why Be - dc

The ‘dc mixtape’ takes the form of an oneiric suite, moving through expressive registers alternately liturgical, pastoral, and diaristic. Why Be and Backtearer recorded it between Copenhagen, Berlin, and Hong Kong, and the resulting beatless vignettes bear traces of their disparate recording contexts as a kind of aural sediment, accumulated across a jagged multi-continental procession. Following their collaborative track “Freedom Amph” on Backtearer’s 2015 LP ‘Swear’ for Berlin’s YYAA Recordings, this is the two artists’ first full-length release.
