（单词翻译）

 I would say bossa nova is a kind of soft samba, maybe played a little bit slower, just with the guitars, simpler, and very light singing, soft singing, and soft guitars doing the rhythm. Not a lot of drums like the big samba schools, maybe just a few percussions, or just brushes.

 
I always call the bossa nova the discreet1 charm of bourgeoisie, the refinement2 of the melody, of the lyric3, of the interpretation4, of the orchestration. So bossa nova was something that came from the middle class for the middle class. 
 
Bossa nova was dominated by three key figures, starting with the singer and guitarist from Bahia, Joao Gilberto. When I first heard Joao Gilberto , it was like enlightenment for me, you know, it was like an incredible revelation of everything, of aesthetic5 criteria6 and deep emotions, and most of all, hope in Brazil. 
 
I think my father changed Brazilian music. If I can say that, I think he changed Brazilian music also in the map. It’s really about reinventing, and I see sometimes my father seeking for different chords, from classics that he’s been playing for the last 40 years. And I just can’t believe it, his obsession7.
