I started writing this blog in order to shed light about the origins of Italian bossa nova.

Apart from sharing my thoughts/articles (if they can be called like this!), I would love to hear what you want to read about.

Enjoy!

Italian Bossa Nova: Brazilian coffee, Italian moka pot

To those who ask "what is bossa nova" or why to mix Italian songs with Bossa Nova musical style, the short answer lies in...coffee...! In fact, think about the best Italian espresso coffee: it comes from Brazilian coffee beans, while it's turned into the tasty drink with an Italian-made tool called "moka pot".

The magical mixture of these two elements (the ingredients and the process of preparing it) are like Italian music and Brazilian tunes mixed together. This is what makes Italian Bossa Nova a unique multi-cultural mixture.
