(Question) Kinda embarassing, what are samba/bossa nova songs similar to this?

I was listening to an ambient video game music playlist while I was studying, and I liked the sound of this song. I realized the song has a bossa nova/samba rhythm. I would really like to listen to artists who have similar-sounding songs to this one (cuz I know they're the source material). Thank you!

That game was fun! But Kazumi Totaka composed both this and the bossa inspired Wii themes. He was also pretty inspired by Japanese jazz fusion. So if I had to guess, it's probably a mix of Jobim, Gilberto, and Casiopea

Errinho Atoa , …E Muito Mais by Roberto Menescal Look for recent cover versions. I hear Marcos Valle in there as well
