Bossa nova, Portuguese for "new wave", is a musical genre originating in Brazil in the 1950s and 1960s. It combines elements of Samba and Jazz and is characterized by a "bossa nova beat", containing syncopated rhythms and unconventional chords played on the guitar that originated in samba. It is often considered a subgenre of samba. The chords often include jazz harmonies such as two-five patterns (ii-V), chromatic chords, and altered dominant chords. The first bossa nova music was played in the late 1950s in Rio de Janeiro. While many artists contributed to the creation of the genre, its creators are usually seen as Antônio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto, both nicknamed the "Father of bossa nova". Original versions are typically sung in Portuguese Bossa nova is usually played on the guitar using fingers instead of a pick. For percussion, the surdo and cabasa are the most common instruments, although it can be played on a drum set. Its signature samba rhythms came from the music of African slave communities and are known for their swaying feel. Its lyrics are usually apolitical and are often about love, women, longing, and other romantic topics. Bossa nova is also a style of dance. By the early 1960s, bossa nova became a worldwide phenomenon, spreading Brazilian music and culture to international audiences. Foreign musicians such as Frank Sinatra began performing bossa nova music. The most famous bossa nova song is Antônio Carlos Jobim's "The Girl From Ipanema", one of the most recorded songs of all time. It is also commonly used as elevator music. In works set in Brazil, expect bossa nova or samba to play in the background. The genre remains deeply tied to foreign perceptions of Brazil. It is also common music for any tropical or beach setting in works. |

Rhythm Heaven Fever: In "Bossa Nova", players take control of either Bossa (in single player) or his girlfriend Nova (who is assigned to player 2 in the multiplayer mode) and have to bounce away volleyballs that are thrown at them from offscreen. The level takes place in a cloud that slowly ascends towards the top of the screen, so the song fittingly resembles elevator music. | |

Mother 3: "New Pork Bossa" plays as the lobby music in the Empire Pork Building, a skyscraper that contains an elevator to bring the player to the 100th floor. Though sadly, it doesn't play in the elevator. In the song, guitar and percussion keep the rhythm while the flute plays the melody. | |
