Bossa nova bands bring a relaxed, sophisticated vibe perfect for backyard wedding receptions, romantic anniversaries, upscale corporate events, and any other setting where a mellow, jazzy atmosphere is a good fit.
Prices vary based on the band’s experience, size, and location, but you can expect rates to range from $600 to $1000 for a 2-hour performance. When contacting the groups, provide as much information as possible to receive the most accurate quote.
While bossa nova is their specialty, many bands also perform as jazz bands and are skilled in related genres like swing, bebop, samba, and other Latin styles, adding variety to their sets. Before the event, chat with them about what specific songs or styles you’d like to hear.
Most bands feature a mix of guitar or piano, bass, drums, and the occasional horn instrument, such as the saxophone. They may also feature a vocalist adding that iconic, smooth vocal style associated with bossa nova music.
Many bossa nova bands are happy to incorporate requests. You can expect to hear classics like Girl from Ipanema, Corcovado, Wave, and more, but ensure you hear your favorites by discussing the set list with the band beforehand.
