Bossacucanova

Bossacucanova is a Brazilian musical collective that’s been reinventing bossa nova with a modern twist since forming in the late '90s. Blending the timeless grooves of classic bossa with electronic beats, jazz, and lounge vibes, the group—originally spearheaded by Alexandre Moreira, Marcio Menescal (son of bossa legend Roberto Menescal), and DJ Marcelinho DaLua—bridges generations of Brazilian music. They’ve collaborated with icons like Carlos Lyra and Elza Soares, while their albums, such as *Nossa Onda É Essa!* and *Bossa Got the Blues*, playfully nod to tradition while experimenting with global sounds. Live performances, like their 50th-anniversary bossa nova celebration, showcase their knack for keeping the genre fresh. Whether remixing classics or dropping originals, Bossacucanova remains a laid-back soundtrack to Rio’s breezy energy.
