This is a style of music that originated in Brazil in the 1950s. The phrase literally means “new talent” or “new way” in Brazilian Portuguese.
It’s a variation of samba, which is a musical style which originated in Brazil.
Musical styles are hard to explain, but – to me – this feels like a laid back style of jazz, like something that comes from the tropics. It feels like something you’d hear in the background of a hotel lobby or restaurant in the Caribbean. There’s less brass than typical jazz, and more guitars. The tempo is slower.
It’s relaxing – great background music.
