As the name implies, [[Bossa de Novo]] &ndash; founded in [[established::2005]] &ndash; moves within the legacy of Brazilian musical expression, the bossa nova. Albeit faithful to bossa nova standards, they do import local elements like Slovene poems, various popular songs, and also a specific sound, that stems from their own musical sensibility. Singing in Portuguese, French, Italian, Slovene and Serbo-Croatian languages, the band leader [[Primož Vitez]] makes all of these languages an equally fitting media for the soft and sensual bossa nova vocalisation.

Other members of the band are [[Aljoša Kosor]] (guitar), [[Marko Gregorič]] (bass), [[Mitja Vrhovnik Smrekar]] (percussion), and [[Sergej Randjelović]] (percussion, voice). Till now, they have released two albums. The first one, released by [[Goga Music]] in 2006, is called ''Vivo!'', while the second one, which came out in 2009, was published by [[DruGod]] and titled ''Nova'' [New]. Among a number of concerts, they have played on the stages of [[Druga Godba Festival]], [[Kamfest]], [[Carniola Festival, Summer in Kranj|Carniola Festival]], and [[Cankarjev dom]], and have also been guests on the popular radio show ''Izštekani'' on [[Radio Slovenia Second Channel - VAL202|Val 202]], hosted by [[Jure Longyka]].

==Background==

When [[Primož Vitez]] travelled to Brazil in 2003, he almost unintentionally recorded a series of songs with the guitarist Willians Pereiro. He named the songs "Bossa de novo" and brought the recordings home as a gift for his close ones. Finding a strong affinity for bossa nova, he started to sporadically collaborate with [[Fake Orchestra]], contributing his musical sensibilities to their colourful collage of world musics. With time, he felt the need to plunge more fully into the genre, so he founded Bossa de Novo.
