bossa nova was developed through unique creativity, blended with a desire to find a new musical way of expression - in 1957, young pioneers would rendezvous, play the guitar, and exchange ideas about what later came to be a revolutionary new genre, at an apartment owned by the parents of the teenage girl nara leăo in the champs elysée palace building in the fashionable copacabana district - regularly in attendance were joăo gilberto, carlos lyra, roberto menescal, ronaldo bôscoli and baden powell.
