Meaning 'nobody's boss', Brazilian author Ruy Castro, in his book Bossa Nova, claimed that "bossa" was already in use in the 1950s by musicians, as a word to characterize someone's knack for playing or singing idiosyncratically. He cites a claim that the term "bossa nova" might have first been used in publicity for a concert given in 1958 by the Grupo Universitário Hebraico do Brasil (University Hebrew Group of Brazil), consisting of Sylvinha Telles, Carlinhos Lyra, Nara Leão, Luizinho Eça, Roberto Menescal, et al. They were likely using the term "bossa nova" then as a generic reference to what they were doing in music at the time, which had no particular name yet. However, the term took hold as the definition of their own specific artistic creation, which became known as "bossa nova," and is often simply known as "bossa" today.
Sometimes I feel like my job in retail zaps my whole 'bossa nova' vibe, but I secretly know these suits don't have shit on my vibe. |
