In the 60s
History of Rose Ferreira - Sao Paulo, Brasil
In the 60s, the decade was marked by the rise of bossa nova and the rediscovery and revaluation of samba. Bossa nova, influenced by João Gilberto's distinctive guitar beat, which accompanies his small but technically perfect voice, provokes the most radical transformation in the genre in its first 40 years of existence. This new style, more than a movement, attracts university youth from the South Zone of Rio. With its rhythm more accessible to foreign audiences compared to traditional samba, bossa nova transcends borders, leading several of its songs, notably Garota de Ipanema, to become worldwide hits. At the same time, traditional samba resurfaces at events that have no direct connection with bossa nova. The first highlight is Zicartola, a house that, for three years, lit up a townhouse on Rua da Carioca with samba.
