‘
Brazil… Chilled’
The snow that was piled high in the Colorado mountains? Nothing more than a distant memory. It was the same for the cold stormy weather that swept across the plains and the East Coast. There’s no doubt that spring is ready to transition to summer!
Here in Chicago, we’re either pleasantly surprised with sunny days and 70s or dealing with heavy rains… normal for June. But each day grows longer and I’ll take that as a good sign for the Sunshine Season.
So I’ve decided to play along with this week’s show.
Depending on where you sit on the musical spectrum, ‘Chill’ can generate musical passion or leave you… cold.
But ever since trumpeter Chris Botti debuted the radio show that helped give rise to the sound more than a decade ago, Chill has earned its own global following for its dedication to ambient electronica.
It’s pretty obvious that Chill has found a willing partner in Brazilian music. But there’s a difference.
The music flowing up from Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Salvador has – at its core – a natural sensibility that you can trace back nearly six decades to the birth of Bossa Nova.
Yes, it’s true; Brazil’s Chill will warm your heart and stir your soul. Easy rhythms fueled by the Brazilian sun.
This week’s program is a grand collection of downtempo, exotic electronica and aurally acoustic gems, found scattered across the world’s best beaches: Copacabana, Ibiza, Grand Cayman, Arenales del Sol, Ipanema, Barbados, and São Paulo’s Ilhabella, and even one of my own favorite stretches of sand, Praia Vermelho (you can’t beat the view).
The idea is a simple one: Relax, unwind, and rejuvenate with the beach in your mind. Soak up the sun with these Brazilian sounds and pay no mind to the forecast for a while. Who knows?
Maybe summer will tune in too.
Happy Listening, Scott Adams
