Bossa Nova Goes Clubbing

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Ethereal-voiced Brazilian singer Paula Morelenbaum spent 10 years traveling the globe and recording with maestro Antonio Carlos Jobim in his Banda Nova. But she doesn't sing your father's boss nova. On her new CD she updates the classic style with the latest electronic production techniques. Today, a look at how bossa nova gets hip. Also on the show: Australian dance company Chunky Move comes to town with a bold new production that is set on a continually revolving stage—onto which various emotional dramas are played out. We look at how music and movement make this theatrical odyssey such a trip.
