Hey i posted this in mike dimin forums (http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=85076)

but everyone is contradicting everyone and arguing in that thread, so now im even more confused on what to do!

maybe if i post it here i will get a broader response

thanks for any help

Chip, what you're seeing is the broader response, a more accurate representation of what a bossa is and where it came from, I don't think another thread is needed as more than enough info has been given in the other thread.
