Quotes
The status of popular Brazilian music in a worldwide perspective changed when bossa nova reached the world through the United States. That was in the early 60s. The film Black Orpheus (1959) had a lot to do with that, although it was not a good film - in Brazil we don't like that one. But the music was fantastic, and for most foreigners it was the first encounter with bossa nova.
