Brazilian genre of music (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

bossa nova

(Other definitions for bossa nova that I've seen before include "Brazil's measure" , "steps taken" , "Brazilian music, rhythmically related to the samba" , "Dance from Brazil similar to samba" , "lively dance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
