Many people are famliar with the laid-back tunes "Girl from Ipanema," "Desafinado" and "Dindi." These songs were written by Brazilian Antonio Carlos Jobim, who fathered the bossa nova musical movement in the 50's and 60's. His songs are beautiful and peaceful. For more information on Jobim, including a brief biography and a link to his discography visit this VH1 site: http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/jobim_antonio_carlos/bio.jhtml
A current musician who sometimes employs elements of bossa nova in his works, such as "Belle," is Jack Johnson. Jack is making his Brazilian debut in April when he performs in Jobim's hometown, Rio de Janeiro, along with Sao Paolo.
