What’s Happening This Week at Connect Brazil

Hello again,

When Basia burst on the scene with ‘Time and Tide’ in 1987, the pop world was once again tapped on the shoulder by her version of the Brazilian beat. And many of her earliest fans were right here in Chicago, where she lived, thrived, and finally ‘arrived’ musically – just ahead of her debut album.

And while her rhythms are not purely Brazilian, the musical message is clear. I’ve selected several of her best to share with you this week.

Happy Listening,
Scott Adams
