"The Girl From Ipanema” style (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

bossa nova

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

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
