Historical context

This program focuses on traditions of Brazilian Afro Samba, Bossa Nova, Sertanejo, and more. The phrase bossa nova means literally "new trend" or "new wave" in Portuguese, denoting a style of music developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Afro Samba is a related style, fusing various elements of African sound with samba, developed by Baden Powell and Vinícius de Moraes. "Sertanejo" is derived from sertão, a general term for rural backlands away from coastal metropolitan regions, although sertão itself is also often used in a narrow sense referring to the interior away from the Brazilian Northeast. Carnaval is celebrated in Brazil from February 9-17 in 2024.
