Bossa Brazil UK

Bossa Brazil UK We are the official organisers of the London Bossa Nova Festival, the Brazilian Music Festival and the Taste of Brazil Gastronomy Festival.

Bossa is an international promotion agency specialised in events organising and management, travel and tourism marketing and promotion, music and business commercial representation and consultancy Bossa Brazil, formed in London in 1997, was originally created to promote Bossa Nova music and the Brazilian culture to large audiences in the United Kingdom and Europe through the mediums of festivals a

nd events. Our passion to promote Brazil and South America, both as a destination and as a nation that enjoys broad diversity of culture, style and people, grew during the organisation of these festivals and events. The success of our events was followed by some of our associates in Brazil asking us to represent them in the United Kingdom, having decided they did not want the high costs and set up fee, the legal implications, personnel problems and everything else that goes with expanding a business to another country, it seemed a natural progression to ask our help as they had already established a commercial relationship with us. Following the London Bossa Nova Festival of 2008, new partners joined the company and the business evolved into a marketing, public relations and promotions agency, enabling us to offer our clients a full range of services for the music and travel & tourism industries. The Bossa Brazil founders and team are well established within the music and travel & tourism industries with a proven track record. Bossa Brazil as a company is also proud of its social responsibilities, working with charities providing welfare programmes in Brazil. The term "Bossa" actually means to have the ability to do something with instinctive, innate charm and natural flair. This term went on to be used to refer to any new "trend" or "fashionable wave" within the artistic beach-culture of late 1950's Rio de Janeiro, from there, it evolved to become the collective name for Brazil’s new music style, Bossa-Nova, a fusion of Samba and jazz, after the genre’s creators referred to their new sound as "a Bossa Nova" or "the new thing".

In theory, the Brazilian winter lasts from 22 June to 22 September, but the country is much better known for its high temperatures. The truth is that the North, Northeast, and Central-West regions are pretty hot for most of the year, but few realise that a few cities spread around the South and Southeast boast a milder climate. For fans of cool weather or those who want a break from the searing heat, we present a list of places you may fall in love with. Read more on BBMag.

Barzinho, boteco, botequim: beloved institutions that Brazilians can live without

There’s something magical about Brazilian cuisine, and that’s why food and drink have been one of the headline themes of BBMag, when we reported on a range of national staples from the simplicity of afternoon coffee to the sweet smell of fresh bread and hearty feijoada. This time around, however, we’ve selected a wider range of popular foods to tempt our readers.

It might be the smallest region of Brazil, but the South is packed with natural wonders and tourist hotspots to suit all
The South is perhaps Brazil’s only region with clearly defined seasons, and is notable for its bitter winter months. Most places, like the tourist town of São Joaquim, occasionally snow in the southern region. The South is also famous for its wines and speciality meats, popular throughout the country and characteristic of the local culinary culture. Perhaps the most iconic symbol is chimarrão, a drink brewed with ground yerba mate and hot water.

A journey around Latin America: Nicaragua #13
Home to unrivalled diversity, Latin America is a melting pot of cultures

The countries that make up Latin America are as distinct from one another as the region is from other parts of the world. So, what unites them? In addition to geographical proximity and the Spanish language (with the exception of Portuguese in Brazil and French in Haiti), perhaps it’s the culture, the climate, the more relaxed outlook on life than European counterparts. There are a number of familiarities that unite them but, at the same time, many aspects that make them unique thanks to their historical context. This is, ultimately, the charm of Latin America.

With that in mind, we have prepared a broad overview of the “best of all things Latin”, with a particular focus on tourism, culture and gastronomy. With so many countries to choose from and so few pages, it won’t be possible to showcase everything at once, but we promise to profile each one in greater detail in future editions. Below are some of the highlights.

To give priority to our Latin neighbours, we will not include Brazil in this section. But worry not, if you want to find out more about this South American giant just browse any of the other editions of BBMag – Bossa Brazil Magazine online.

Nicaragua

Granada is the main attraction, where tourists can find several architectural monuments and landmarks from the colonial era.

Another city of colonial intrigue is León, near the Cerro Negro volcano, where thrill seekers can practice “volcano boarding”—yes, sliding down volcanic slopes on wooden boards!

Cuisine is essentially similar to other Central American countries. One popular dish is the vigorón, a mixture of meats cooked with potatoes or cassava, served on a banana leaf.

Mexico

Mexico has the largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites of any country in the Americas (31). The largest tourist draws are the archaeological sites of extinct civilisations, called Mesoamericanas. Guadalajara is the second largest city and where several of the best-known Mexican traditions began, such as tequila, mariachi music and charros (traditional horseman).

One of the most popular destinations is Cancun, with its crystal blue waters. However, there are several other famous Mexican cities worth visiting, such as Los Cabos, Acapulco, San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chichen-Itzá, to name a few.

Mexican food is popular worldwide: tacos, burritos, nachos, guacamole, chillies, enchilada, quesadillas, salsas, etc. Mexican gastronomy has actually been designated status as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. One warning though: Mexican food can be very spicy.

Honduras

The main tourist attraction is the island of Roatán, with its paradisiacal beaches and lavish hotels. For the more active, the island’s interior has many trails among native vegetation and wildlife.

Those looking for even more nature can find it in the Pico Bonito National Park, which rewards visitors with waterfalls, lush scenery, and diverse wildlife.

Many Honduran dishes are made using coconut (and its milk), meat and cheese. And ground beans are also very popular and are usually served as an accompaniment.
