BOSSA NOVA NOITES
The Pandemic ended ...
Now we go forward
As the world considers how to navigate the post-COVID-19 future, the only certainty is that it will be different, or as McKinsey & Company writes, “the future is not what it used to be.” But then, the future is always different, and always uncertain. The past is less so. Considering the lessons of history can help business leaders and policy makers figure out how to manage the challenging years ahead.

Our Vision
Attending a live show or art presentation offers the human experience of interaction, of discovery and exploration of new culture. For most people, music art has a huge impact on mental well-being, and the poetry of music stimulates the imagination, heart and spirit. These are things that positively affect the mental state and enrich the life experience.
Music brings value in three ways: IDENTITY, ENGAGEMENT and CURRENCY.
-
Music establishes an emotional connection in a manner that increases brand recognition, creates excitement, and generates buzz; and music can empower the audience, offering valuable content to discover and share.
-
Music creates the value that wins the war for attention and develops a genuine connection with an audience. When incorporated into marketing strategy, music not only creates loyalty, but true advocacy.
-
Music is the emotional connection to anything visual.
Our Proposal
We seek Partnership Marketing participation on our 2023-2024 BOSSA NOVA NOITES global events.
This lucrative music, TV and cultural event pays homage to the great legacy and heritage of Brazilian music and art. Our mutual opportunity is the chance to leverage the unique Bossa Nova Noites platform to link public, private, and SOE policy with an identification with Brazilian music in a manner that increases global brand recognition.
In 2023-2024, we are primarily targeting Olympic cities: London, Rio de Janeiro, Paris, Los Angeles, Rome, Milan, Berlin, Montreal, Seoul, Tokyo, Barcelona, Atlanta & Sydney, and then New York City. We then plan to focus on the China market: Beijing (twice an Olympic city), Chengdu, Macao, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Shenyang, Dalian, Jinan, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, and Wuhan.
"The Nexus of Culture, Public Policy and International Marketing"

The Brazil Opportunity
Brazil is a targeted opportunity for the world to enhance identity by forging an on-going global connection to the value and awareness of, the relevance of, and relationship to an important market.
Our "Bossa Nova Noites" strategy does that. We leverage live presentations and multimedia to link constituents to classic Brazilian music that reflects this market’s amazing culture and heritage. We do so in a way that enhances the relationship and connection between a partner and the emotional and tangible commercial perception of its Brazilian customers and its global constituency.
For global partners with a long-term and valued commitment to the Brazil market, advancing the Brazil connection on a global basis is a long-tail marketing and communications opportunity, and a very smart policy move.

"Bossa Nova Noites"
The BOSSA NOVA NOITES concert series was introduced to the world during the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. The series featured Daniel Jobim and Alexandra Jackson in concert with an all-star Brazilian band. They performed music from the song catalog of the great Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes, and other great Brazilian composers -- spreading wide throughout Rio de Janeiro the soul of Brazilian music -- in the heart of the city that made Samba, Bossa Nova and MPB global phenomena.
The “Bossa Nova Noites: 2016 in Rio de Janeiro” festival focused on presenting Brazilian music culture and heritage to the “global audience” gathered in Rio. Exclusive performances ranged in location from the Opening Ceremony of the Rio2016 Olympics (where Daniel Jobim performed “Girl from Ipanema” to a 350 million person global TV audience) to appearances at the International Rio Media Center (home to 8,000 journalists from 103 countries), on the NBC TODAY SHOW, and at the National Olympic Houses of Germany, France, Japan, United States and Denmark. Bossa Nova Noites concerts brought the best of Brazilian music and soul to an international audience at a time when the world’s attention was focused on Rio de Janeiro for the Olympic Games.
Brazil 2023 forward
100 years ago in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ... Samba was born; and, the global phenomenon that is Bossa Nova was introduced 60 years ago -- reaching its peak in 1965 with the GRAMMY Record of the Year success of the classic song that opened the Rio2016 Olympics ... “Girl from Ipanema”. Legacy and Alchemy captured the moment in 2016, and continued in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.
From "2023 forward", we will present Bossa Nova Noites around the world as both a concert series brand and arts festival brand honoring and celebrating the wonder of Brazilian music and culture for the enjoyment and appreciation by global audiences.
Bossa Nova Noites Global Concert Series
The “Bossa Nova Noites” concert series is produced by Rio de Janeiro/U.S.-based producer Robert Hebert.
With support of Brazil's music industry and public sector, and over a dozen foreign consulates in Rio de Janeiro, including: China, Japan, USA, France, Germany, and others, we will tour "Bossa Nova Noites" around the world.
The music series features our all-star team of musicians (including David Feldman, Jesse Sadoc, and Paulo Calasans) performing music from the song catalogs of Brazilian greats Vinícius de Moraes, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Ivan Lins, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Milton Nascimento, Chico Buarque, Dona Ivone Lara, and others.
Our creative team members are vital players in Brazilian Music — major creative collaborators of Brazil stars such as Ivan Lins, Marcos Valle, Caetano Veloso, Djavan, Marisa Monte, Carlinhos Brown, Maria Rita, Seu Jorge, Joao Bosco, Roberta Sa, Jorge Aragao, Jorge Benjor, Martinho da Vila and Mart'nália, among many others.
In addition to launching a fabulous new Brazilian legacy music project, we also launch the contemporary music careers of a multi-ethnic, diverse collective of talented, fresh new female singers, most notably, Brazilians VITORIA MORAES, MONIQUE ELEN, MARI BODAS and LUIZA CRUZ.
The 2023 "Robert Hebert: BOSSA NOVA NOITES ... Soul Brasileiros" project is supported by a 4 Volume Music set of over 40 songs featuring established stars and our new stars. With the new project, as Producer & Artist, Robert Hebert has envisioned a new music style crafted from the synergy of the roots of Brazilian music and the roots of the iconic music of his Chicago hometown. Hebert sees our stars Vitoria, Monique, Mari and Luiza leading a major part of this connection between Brazilian music and culture and the world.
Hebert says: "I have been here before. I believe I know what it takes. These extraordinary Brazilian women have the talent, grace, humility, humanity, perspective and strength of character to carry the weight. They are solo contemporary popular music artists -- each with an individual music style, aesthetic and brand. Yet they have chosen to travel this path together and with us to honor their (Brazil) culture, as we tell the universal story of the Africa-Brazil-U.S. to the world popular music diaspora. I am greatly honored by that vision and their trust."
"A Felicidade"
Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim & Lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes
This legendary song debuted in the iconic 1959 film "Orfeu Negro"
-- based on Vinicius' historic 1956 play "Orfeu da Conceição".

MARKETING OBJECTIVES
Legacy and Alchemy appreciates that marketing objectives must impact sales and protect or improve a partner’s image and bottom line. Thus, we propose to collaborate with partners to establish "crafted" marketing objectives.
A. We understand that our efforts are about the partner; and we want to know how you believe you can leverage Legacy and Alchemy and Bossa Nova Noites’ unique marketing initiatives to reach the objectives.
Keys
• Increase revenue in Brazil
• Increase Brazilian customer loyalty and repeat sales through social media marketing
• Increase global brand awareness among targeted demographics
B. We understand that it is our responsibility to establish the marketing objectives with the partner. We can:
• Agree on how to measure success
• Provide unique marketing initiatives the Partner will leverage to meet the objectives
C. We understand that the success of any partnership can be measured in two ways:
Quantitatively – tangible results we can count.
For example, we expect to dramatically impact our number of social media followers in 2023. We expect to establish a subscription-based customer loyalty program. We will tie all concerts, content and various events to partner web presences, and we expect an increase in unique visits to the partner’s social media and web platforms from such events, content, etc.
Qualitatively – less tangible results that improve the Partner’s position or circumstance.
Our highest impact (though most difficult to measure) marketing objectives are qualitative or intangible. This includes customer satisfaction levels, customer loyalty and brand perception within demographics. We must measure with customer surveys and testimonials, and by measuring the side-effects and indirect outcomes. We can document customer referrals; and, we can document attendance by targeted demos, such as youth, women, family, etc. at our events.
Examples:
• Positive brand chatter on the various social media networks
• Higher numbers of customers contributing to surveys
• Lower churn rate of customer relative to the Partner’s main competitor

BRAZIL DISPARITY
Perhaps 55% of Brazil’s 211 million people define themselves as black or mixed-race -- making Brazil (with 110 million “Afro-Brazilians”) the world’s 2nd largest black population after Nigeria. Unfortunately, in Brazil, white workers earn (on average) 72.5% more than their black counterparts. There also is imbalance in the comparative numbers of black and white university graduates. (citing World Bank statistics) Those disparities impact in fundamental ways, e.g., Afro-Brazilians occupy 6.3% of management positions and 4.7% of executive posts in Brazil’s 500 largest companies; and, Afro-Brazilians comprise the majority of Brazil’s 55 million people living in poverty.
Brazilian Non-Profits We Will Support
With those disparities in mind, our altruistic mission includes our ability to leverage the revenue generation and communications capability of the Bossa Nova Noites music multimedia platform to support Rio de Janeiro non-profits that are addressing the above-referenced disparities through programs targeting the cultural recognition, education, training and job prospects of Afro-Brazilians. These programs provide valuable and sustainable inclusion initiatives that are focused on Life-Changing Engagement benefits such as.
• Education
• Job Training
• Cultural and Public Policy Awareness
• Seminar and Workshop Opportunity
• Apprenticeship and Internship Opportunity
• Job and Career Opportunity
We also will support the cultural non-profit Instituto Antônio Carlos Jobim, and China Consulate in Rio de Janeiro programs.
