Genre LensWhat is Bossa Nova?
Gentle Brazilian jazz-song. Softly syncopated nylon-string guitar, jazz chords, brushed drums and a hushed, almost whispered vocal.

Anchors rather than an exhaustive canon — if your track sits near these, this is probably the right label.
Usual tempo 110–140 BPM. Sitting outside that range does not disqualify a track; it just makes the tells matter more.
The nearest neighbours in Latin, by tempo. If Bossa Nova does not quite fit, one of these usually does.
- Regional Mexican90–200 BPM
Mexican regional traditions — banda brass bands, accordion-led norteño and mariachi. Tuba bass, brass or accordion leads and big, emotional vocals.
- Corridos Tumbados100–160 BPM
Mexican story-songs with a trap attitude. Acoustic requinto guitar runs, a twelve-string or bajo sexto and tuba, under a relaxed, rap-influenced vocal about street life.
- Xote / Forró90–140 BPM
Dance music from north-east Brazil. Accordion, zabumba drum and triangle in a swinging two-step; xote is the slower, swaying rhythm within it.
- Latin Pop95–130 BPM
Pop structure and production with Latin rhythmic and instrumental colour, usually sung in Spanish or Portuguese.
