LIVE 24/7
The most elegant music Brazil ever produced — bossa nova and samba-jazz at their most refined — streams continuously on Bossa Jazz Brasil, where Jobim, Gilberto, and their descendants create an atmosphere of sophisticated warmth that no other music in the world quite matches.
Bossa Jazz Brasil is an internet radio station devoted to the most sophisticated and internationally celebrated strand of Brazilian music — bossa nova and its close relatives in the Brazilian jazz tradition. Broadcasting continuously online, the station curates a world of gentle guitar patterns, hushed vocals, subtle percussion, and harmonically inventive arrangements that have enchanted listeners globally since the late 1950s when bossa nova first emerged from the apartment buildings of Rio de Janeiro's Zona Sul.
The programming draws from the classic bossa nova canon — Antônio Carlos Jobim, João Gilberto, Vinícius de Moraes, Elis Regina, and the full roster of artists who defined the golden era — alongside samba-jazz, MPB, and contemporary Brazilian jazz musicians who continue the tradition with fresh interpretations. The sound is always warm, always sophisticated, and always Brazilian at its heart.
Bossa Jazz Brasil attracts lovers of sophisticated music worldwide who appreciate the unique combination of harmonic complexity and emotional warmth that Brazilian jazz brings. It is the ideal station for late evenings, unhurried mornings, dinner accompaniment, and any moment that calls for music that is simultaneously relaxing and intellectually rewarding.
Bossa nova was born in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1950s, emerging from the meeting of samba rhythms with cool jazz harmonies and the intimate guitar style of João Gilberto. The genre conquered the world with the release of The Girl from Ipanema and Garota de Ipanema, but its deeper catalog is even more remarkable — a body of music of extraordinary harmonic beauty and lyrical sophistication. Brazil's contribution to world jazz remains one of the most distinctive and influential in the genre's history.
