Abstract

The article approaches Bossa Nova as an experience of resignification at the existential and religious level, focusing primarily on the song Chega de Saudade (No more blues), by Tom Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes. Opinions and testimonies are listed, in order to attest to the centrality of this song for Bossa Nova and Brazilian Popular Music. Chega de Saudade catalyzes aspirations, like a horizon of happiness. The constitution and main features of the Bossanovista movement are discussed, as well as the album Chega de Saudade, by João Gilberto. The musical elements of the song (harmony, rhythm, melody, timbre, interpretation, lyrics, etc.) are treated in their dimension of meaning, as an aesthetic-religious experience. Finally, the national and international repercussion of the Bossanovista movement is approached.
