Bossa Pacifica celebrates the spirit of Bossa Nova, California-style. We play Brazilian Standards | Pop | Bolero in a samba-influenced groove. Featuring Bossa Nova classics of 1950s & 60s Rio, immortalized by master artists Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vinícius de Moraes, João Gilberto, Jorge Ben, Marcos Valle and Sergio Mendes sung in sensual Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish & English.
Bossa Pacifica did a wonderful job at my event! They were not only extremely professional but also very talented. The music really set the tone of the event and my guests all enjoyed the smooth sexy latin jazz/ Bossa Nova sound. Everyone arrived on time (ahead of schedule actually!) and the set up was great- they used quality equipment. As a professional Event Manager working with talent that makes my job easier is such a find (and rare)-- I would definitely recommend them and will be using this group again.
Response from Bossa Pacifica:
