Background
When Primož Vitez travelled to Brazil in 2003, he almost unintentionally recorded a series of songs with the guitarist Willians Pereiro. He named the songs "Bossa de novo" and brought the recordings home as a gift for his close ones. Finding a strong affinity for bossa nova, he started to sporadically collaborate with Fake Orchestra, contributing his musical sensibilities to their colourful collage of world musics. With time, he felt the need to plunge more fully into the genre, so he founded Bossa de Novo.
