This upbeat Jazz-HipHop fusion number was inspired by the amazingly talented musicians plying their craft all over the East Bay ("the 510"). While the entire Bay Area is full of musical talent – I tend to focus my visits to musical venues in the East Bay. we infused hiphop in this Jazz number right after our success with “Come With Me”. I truly believe that God blessed me to write these songs with my son David. I felt goosebumps when this song came to me as my very last composition – number 16. The final melodic phrasings lined up perfectly with the words “Bossa 5-1-0”. So perfect, I decided that this simply had to be our title track. The coups de gras was in adding the amazing R&B sensation Jamillions on vocals.

We strive to bring new sounds to music lovers, which feature our own original compositions – performed by talented musicians from all over the Bay Area.
Fremont natives John and David Vargas (aka “D-Varg”) collaborated to write 16 original songs that celebrate the genre of Bossa Nova. Our compositions are inspired by the great works of composers Antonio Carlos Jobim, Ivan Lins and Celso Fonseca.
In the spirit of of legendary producer Quincy Jones and Sergio Mendes, we strive to bring talented musicians from the Bay Area to one studio, to produce new original hits. John Vargas is bandleader and lead vocalist – a student of classic bossa nova. D-Varg is an accomplished rap and hiphop artist who infuses a new groove into our mix.
Building a core-band of talented musicians, we enlisted: Tony Song (guitar) Mark Rickey (keyboards) Ravi Jayasinghe (bass) Sam Brignon (drums) Oshra Sedan (vocals)
Our debut album “Bossa510” also features talented session players from all over the San Francisco Bay Area — bringing a wide variety of styles and instrumentation into the mix: Ed Lee (guitar) David Stockman (congas) Chris Koraltan (drums) Esther Berndt (alto sax) Randy Merril (trumpet and flugelhorn) Tom Povse (flute) Nikki Rey (vocals) Jamillions (vocals)
