I am opposed to a merge. The bossa nova is basically music and has persisted to the present; the dance is a separate (and relatively minor and ephemeral), though obviously related, phenomenon. Zaslav (talk) 06:11, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I support the merge, it is too minor to be a separate article but should still be documented in the encyclopedia. Make it a section in the Bossa nova article. BappleBusiness (talk) 20:25, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I also support the merge, the dance article is too minor and could simply fit into a subsection on the music page. Cathryn-hex (talk) 18:21, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny Alf.

[edit]

It's weird how the English article for Johnny Alf talks so much more about his real impact on creating bossa nova in bars since the early 1950s, and if AllMusic's page[1] cited on his page is to be believed, since THE year 1950, and with Tom Jobim, João Donato and João Gilberto playing with him in gigs in bars.

If he's important enough to get a New York Times article[2] written about him, i feel he more than deserves at least a mention in this article!

Also, I see in his own article citations to Bossa Nova: The Story of the Brazilian Music That Seduced the World by Castro, that talk about his interactions and clear inspiring of the 3 mentioned artists, but i don't have the book so i'm not certain how to cite the right sources without fear of being deleted by someone.
