Bossa Dorado is a composition by Dorado Schmitt, the French gypsy jazz guitarist and violinist. It has become a jazz standard in the jazz manouche world, weaving swing and gypsy waltz with bossa nova influences. Schmitt, born in 1957 in Saint-Avold, France, wrote the piece as part of his own repertoire and helped it gain prominence through the Dorado Trio he formed in 1978. The exact year of release and the original album for Bossa Dorado are not stated in the sources, but the tune is widely associated with Schmitt and the gypsy jazz tradition.
