I wanna get into Bossa Nova...

[Emperor Bohe]

any suggestions?

[DeeJayZap]

the only bossanova i know is the album by the pixies. XD

[mate_spawn_die]

Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 or Jorge Ben

and Os Mutantes is a fun combination of psych and bossa nova

that's all i know.

[hpdrifter]

Joao Gilberto
Astrud Gilberto
Antonio Carlos Jobim

[Auton]

start with "Wave" by antonio carlos jobim, and then get jao gilberto / stan getz album "Getz/Gilberto." seriously. get those before anything else

Here's a pretty good Ultra Lounge compliation (http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Lounge-Vol-14-Bossa-Novaville/dp/B000002UH7) to get you started! I put this album on and get that cocktail shaker out... Love me some bossa nova.

"i don't know" and "twenty questions" <3 :o

[DroppinScience]

Joao Gilberto
Astrud Gilberto
Antonio Carlos Jobim

Indeed. That's where it all begins. Add to the list Stan Getz.

Joao Gilberto's daughter, Bebel Gilberto, is also making some really good contemporary bossa nova.

jorge ben jor
antonio carlos jobim

and, as somebody said, although not really bossanova, os mutantes (from brazil) are one of the best bands ever.
