Bossa Nova in the Bay Area

What does Brazil and Palo Alto have in common? There's a great band that plays Brazilian Bossa Nova and other latin rythms in Palo Alto. They're the Sambosseros.

I went there and saw their weekly presentation on Thursdays at Trader Vics.

On the same note, Bebel Gilberto will be playing in San Francisco on Sept 11 at Bimbo's 365.
