Corcovado Band, a bossa nova band, named after one of the most famous peaks in Rio de Janeiro Brazil, started with two men and a great dream: to make people feel the deepness and sensitiveness of the Brazilian music through talented musicians that share the same passion for this great music that is bossa nova. Today we are eight musicians striving to become one with our music and to share our passion with our public throughout all the United States.

WHERE DO WE PLAY
Corcovado Band plays the great Brazilian Jazz (Bossa Nova) in the Western United states. Corcovado Band brings the exotic touch of the Brazilian musicality to the stage.
SO... WHY BOSSA NOVA?
You have only to listen for a few minutes to the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim, the Brazilian composer and prime mover behind the bossa nova movement, to sense the supreme ease with which he fused the yin and yang impulses of popular music. As the delicate pulse of bossa nova intensifies and toughens, then subsides, you sense the emotional (...) rhythms of life in an organic ebb and flow. (New York Times - November 3, 1997)
Played by professional musicians of the Corcovando Band, the Bossa Nova regains its vigor so many times lost when played by unexperienced musicians.
