    This sends out a big message that the National Symphony Orchestra supports younger artists like Laufey and in collaboration want to introduce Orchestral/Classical music to our coming generations- an endearing and wholesome effort.

      ​@@mikamikan1079 Elevators with music? What kind of elevators do you use? What are you? Rich? I would love elevators with bossanova! and every corner of the world with this music being loved as much as any other gender, just enjoy music without prejudice That means: stop trying making an image on your mind when hearing music. And if you would really want to imagine something, the right thing is not an elevator, but the beaches of Brasil. Bossanova is a style that uses guitar as the main instrument because it is indeed beach music, not elevator music. That is a yankees' thing. And if you reaally want a music for elevators, its really smooth jazz, not bossanova neither latin jazz. And smooth jazz is cool too.
      I enjoy from psytrance, to 70s progressive rock, grunge, rap, numetal, colorstep, funk and soul, and a lot of other heavier genders. But for me? Bossanova has the perfect rhythm to get peace in almost any context, even in the hardest ones. Try it, just stop thinking about palm trees, smoking or rastafaris when listening to reggae, stop imagining a metal head, beers and whatever comes to your mind when listening to metal, stop thinking about synthpop as neon colored with baby blue and hot pink. Or Taylors music as something girly, because it isnt. Just enjoy music by itself, at least try it! Tastes are all adcquired and you are missing some colors of what life can be with bossanova as a tool in your playlist.
