La Bossa Nova apparaît à Rio de Janeiro au cours des années cinquante. Elle est née du mariage des rythmes de samba traditionnels avec les harmonies élaborées du jazz de cette époque. Si de nombreux musiciens ont contribué à sa gestation , les fondateurs en sont principalement le pianiste-compositeur Antonio Carlos Jobim et le chanteur-guitariste Joâo Gilberto. Popularisée en France grâce au film Orfeu Negro de Marcel Camus, la Bossa Nova fit rapidement le tour du monde, notamment à travers les enregistrements de A.C. Jobim avec Joâo Gilberto et le saxophoniste Stan Getz. Décrite par A.C. Jobim lui-même comme la version blanche et soft du Samba , elle est le pendant sophistiqué et très cool du samba, avant tout musique de danse et de carnaval. Mais les bossas sont des sambas... On pourra donc utiliser les mêmes rythmes, joués d'une manière plus répétitive, plus suave, sur des mélodies et des harmonies plus élaborées. Les guitaristes brésiliens ont créé dès les années 20 une manière spécifique d'accompagner les chansons. Comme pour d'autres styles sud-américains, la guitare (et donc la main droite) devra avant tout être considérée comme une percussion harmonisée (dixit Toquinho, un des grands guitaristes du genre). Le style s'est sans aucun doute élaboré à partir de l'osmose de la guitare avec les percussions. Dans le Samba, musique binaire à 2 temps, le surdo (sorte de gros tambour) joue les temps (un coup fermé et bref, puis un coup ouvert, long et grave). A la guitare, son rôle sera tenu par le pouce. Les doigts de la main droite reproduiront, quant à eux, principalement les rythmes du tamborim (petit tambour manuel, qui se frappe à l'aide d'une baguette) ou des agogos (composés de deux cloches en métal, reliées entre elles, et accordées à la quarte). Le pandeiro, ou tambour de basque en français, et le ganzé (shaker), créent le lien entre la régularité du surdo et la liberté rythmique du tamborim ou des agogos, en tissant un tapis de doubles croches accentuées. N.B.: Au Brésil, le mot Samba est masculin... En France, on parle plus volontiers de la Samba pour la danse, et du Samba pour la musique. Sur le CD, les morceaux sont joués d'abord en formation complète (thème, guitare d'accompagnement, basse, batterie), puis sans le thème, puis sans la guitare d'accompagnement. L'élève pourra ainsi travailler le morceau dans sa continuité, en rejouant sa partie plusieurs fois, jusqu'à n'être plus accompagné que de la basse et de la percussion.Compositeur/Auteur : HOARAU Jean-Christophe

Wistfully swaying rhythms and subtle chords are adorning the pages of this coursebook - admittedly intended for learning purposes yet without ever disregarding the pleasure of playing. The approach to be followed for the interpretation of these 25 musical pieces is illustrated in detail within the three preliminary chapters of this coursebook: fingerstyle techniques rhythmsand chords specific to Bossa Nova are accurately and meticulously explained to you. In addition to this the DVD shows you all 25 musical pieces at their full length and at two different tempi: first for demonstration purposes recorded at actual playing speed then at a slower speed in order to give you the opportunity to practice and overcome the upcoming difficulties. For its part the MP3 CD allows you to practice the musical pieces by playing them along to backing tracks of a proper length - once again at two different tempi: at a slower speed for practicing and at actual speed for playing contextually appropriately.
