With Goza Bossa, Head Sounds will explore the impact that Brazilian popular music had on international culture since the 1960s, inspiring artists, musicians, and music lovers around the world. And at the same time, feeding on all those musical fusions created outside Brazil. Although also popular in Japan and Europe, the US was the biggest consumer of this “new beat”, with artists like Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao Gilberto enjoying mainstream successes with the help of powerful friends like Frank Sinatra. Brazilian musicians also absorbed much of the musical culture of the United States, making fusions with jazz, psychedelic rock, soul, funk, and disco.
