No, I did not.

Though, a couple of the asian ones are top notch in every respect. Especially Sitti navarro.

But to answer tikismug's statement,

the crucial difference is that Bossa Nova stopped being cool by 1967. So, to find young kids playing this type of music, stretched few and far between across the nation is intriguing to me. Suffice it to say you don't see this type of stuff easiily, while with exotica music there seems to be some new band each week. Including the new Elliot Easton group.

Ironically, I actually have always admired this guy's guitar skills. Much like Pat Benetar's Neil Gerardo, he is one of the unsung guitar heroes of pop-rock. Elliot Easton is a truly gifted guitarist.

But this Bossa Nova stuff is a different beast altogether. Portugese is a notoriously jaw-cracking language to learn. The guitar chords in most of it are advanced, to say the least. It takes a special sense of style to get it right, and the fact that these young people are doing so makes it even more cool, in my opinion. Bossa Nova has a level of sophistication that alludes most other styles, save pop jazz....I truly like it.

Oh, and I don't wear panties. I already established that I wear diapers, (just like that crazy astronaut chick who was stalking the ex boyfriend.)
