Viva Bossa Nova was the only chart album of Brazilian guitarist and bandleader Laurindo Almeida. He helped promote bossa nova music which became very popular in the USA during the early 1960s. (US:9)
“Desafinado is synonymous with Laurindo Almeida and the two go together as if destiny deemed it. All told, a wonderful recording and one that should certainly form the centre-piece of the collection of even the most critical of bossa nova aficionados.”
“Largely responsible for the Brazilian/North American 'samba jazz' that would eventually catch on in the form of a musical trend known as bossa nova.”
“This was the first bossa nova music I ever heard, and immediately I liked it.”
