Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Ahhhhh, bossa nova. It’s back, you know, although — like the best art — it never really went away. Created in Brazil in the 1950s, bossa nova’s marriage of jazz and samba remains irresistible.

Listening to Donato’s spare and dreamy lines, you imagine driving a convertible down the coast of Brazil with a pastel sky above and a beautiful companion next to you. It’s effortless.
