Summary: The style of music known as Bossa Nova originated in Rio de Janeiro in the 1950's, influenced by American jazz and Brazilian samba. João Gilberto, Vinicius de Moraes and Antônio Carlos Jobim are just a few of the musicians who popularized the Brazilian jazz style, prompting performers like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra to record Bossa Nova songs. The nylon-stringed classical guitar is the musical instrument which gives Bossa Nova songs like "The Girl From Ipanema" that definitive smooth sound.
