Event Details

The Bossa Nova sound originated in Rio de Janiero, home to the Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. The Girl from Ipanema won a Grammy for Record of the year in 1965. Rio, a city of contrasts, features one of the seven wonders of the modern world, the pre-Lenten celebration Carnaval, and striking favelas. The city comes alive through the music of Antonio Carlos Jobin, including the Sinatra recordings, Sergio Mendes and Elis Regina.
