This genre of music was born in Brazil, in Rio do Janeiro specifically. Bossa Nova's influences are Jazz and Brazilian samba. Bossa nova means "new trend" in Portuguese, which is related to the begging of a new kind of music during the 50' and 60' in Brazil.
It was very popular, even in nowadays you can hear people hearing new Bossa Nova songs, that's why so many Brazilians say it describes their culture very good. A relaxing and enchanting rhythm who explains why Brazilians are so nice and amicable.
I have many friends from Brazil and I can tell that it really fits really good their personality. Maybe now is not so popular in their country like Sertanejo or Funk Carioca, and just old people remember it, but the roots of brazil are in Bossa Nova, its a crosscutting rhythm.
Singers like Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa or Vinicius de Moraes, are great artists so I recommend them to you all!
I'll leave a youtube link from my Bossa Nova's favorite song:
