Never before has Brazil been in such high demand internationally Brazil is the giant of the Latin American region. It is the world’s fifth largest nation in terms of area and population. Its landmass is far larger than Europe combined and it is just a small matter of being 35-times larger in area than the entire United Kingdom. Brazil boasts the world’s third largest stock exchange, and is ranked as the number one consumer of luxury goods in South America. Needless to say, it is the UK’s most significant trading partner in the region and business travel between Brazil and the UK continues to grow. For some time now, there has been a significant gap in the UK market for a modern lifestyle publication that accurately portrays the Brazil of today, a magazine that truly reflects Brazil’s multicultural offering in terms of sports, music, dance, fashion, travel, gastronomy and heritage. To meet this demand, Bossa Brazil Magazine was launched in April 2016.
Bossa Brazil Magazine Bossa Brazil Magazine (BBMag) is a London-based bilingual lifestyle publication dedicated to the promotion of Brazil. We promote a positive Brazil as an upcoming nation with intelligent and creative people, stunning tourist destinations to visit and a very unique culture. Our aim with Bossa Brazil Magazine is to provide our readers with a topical and modern lifestyle publication that seeks to celebrate this most unique of cultures, rounding up news features, stories and current events, all geared to bringing the British public a little bit closer to the Brazilian culture. Additionally the magazine casts a spotlight on life in London, providing a comprehensive guide to upcoming events and goings on for both Brazilians living in the UK and locals with an interest in learning more about the country. Bossa Brazil Magazine (BBMag) is distributed to UK based readers at no cost, ensuring that the reach and impact of our sponsors and advertising partners is maximised amongst this very specific audience. Our readership is mostly made up of Brazilian governments and entities, industry organisations, bars and restaurants, arts centres, schools, cinemas, theatres, shows, festivals, event venues and more. Our editorial commitment is to deliver quality journalism and break the mould of traditional lifestyle publications. Bossa Brazil Magazine aims to establish an ongoing dialogue with its readers and welcomes feedback regarding its editorial agenda, helping us guarantee that the title remains relevant, thought-provoking and, above all else, dedicated to providing London with up-to-date information about Brazil. Who is Bossa Brazil?
Bossa Brazil is an international promotions agency that specialises in marketing & PR, travel & tourism, and event management. Whilst London based, our roots are Brazilian, meaning we tackle every brief with the passion, flair and style associated with Brazil. When Bossa Brazil was formed in 1997, we focused on promoting the Brazilian culture in the UK and Europe through a series of events and festivals. The local appetite for all things Brazil quickly exceeded our original expectations and we began promoting Brazil as a tourist destination and must visit for those seeking cultural diversity and lifestyle.
What is Bossa? Bossa is a Portuguese word, meaning “to do things with an instinctive, innate charm and natural flair” – and that’s how we work. The term itself has a rich past, once referring to emergent trends or fashions associated with late 1950's Rio de Janeiro beach culture, before going on to represent one of Brazil’s more famous music genres, Bossa-Nova, which is a lively fusion of samba and jazz.
At Bossa Brazil, we pride ourselves at fusing flair, charm and passion in the services we provide our clients.
That’s why we’re
Bossa Brazil
