Bossa Nova to Survive the Winter

Tom van Leent

Rio Jesus Statue Bossa Nova

In winter, when everything is just grey outside all day I just appreciate the summer so much more. The warmth of the sun, everything is happening outside. Don’t get me wrong the winter has its charme as well. But just need this one day of summer in winter. When that happens I just start digging for the best songs that represent that warm summer day. For me I can really find that in Bossa Nova. The music brings you instantly to a warm beach in South America, and gives you that summer feel. So today I’m sharing my favourite Bossa nova songs for if you need that day of summer in winter.

 

Tracks:

 

A Rã - João Donato

 

Agua De Beber - Astrud Gilberto, Antônio Carlos Jobim

 

Mango (Club Des Belugas Bossa Remix) - The Bahama Soul Club, Arema Arega

 

Mais Que Nada - Sérgio Mendes & Brasil ’66

 

Desafinado - João Gilberto
