The bossa fraternity began to split with musicians like Jobim now remaining in America, but complaining at the way music had changed.

 

  And we had there the same phenomena I think you have here now. We had the bossa nova ice box, bossa nova wash...washing machines, bossa nova lawyers, and many things. And now I heard here in the radio bossa nova hair comb, bossa nova shoes! You know, this is not very good for the music.   

 

  Carlos Lyra was also to leave Brazil for Mexico with all the complaints about the new bossa. 

  Some people preferred the bossa nova with lots of jazz. I was the one who thought, you know, that there shouldn't be so much jazz. It was important / the jazz influence in bossa nova, but it shouldn't be too much. We should keep the jazz like a spice in the food. Not too much, otherwise it's gonna burn you. So I wrote a song, Jazz Influence, to talk about that.

 

  By early 1964, the bossa nova boom in Brazil was coming to an end. It had moved to America where the best known and / most often recorded bossa song of all time was about to become a massive hit.
