Hello again!

Been to Brazil lately? Wish you were there right now? I’ve opened up the playlist for the best of ‘Brazilian Jazzmasters’, and a special focus on the heart and soul of it all: Rio de Janeiro!

Inside this two-hour special, I have included a musical tribute to the legendary group Azymuth. And the homepage at Connectbrazil.com tells the story behind Brazil’s all-time #1 Top 40 hit.

Brazilian music and American jazz have always enjoyed an easy friendship and that means a lot of great music to enjoy. More below.

But first, some timely tips:

~ ~ ~

Make a date with the Events page at Connect Brazil: Live music, a new restaurant, an outdoor party, or an art show, chances are you’ll find it on our website, or add it yourself… it’s always free! And we’re adding more every day! Music, Travel, Friends & Fun! From our home page on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Sunday’s Brazilian Brunch celebrates the softer side of Brazilian Song. Busy weekend? Take us along. We make it easy to take our music with you, wherever you go.

Join us ‘Live’ Sundays only, for three full hours beginning at 5 am and 9 am Central and then again at 2 pm and 8 pm from the player.

Requests pay off because you get to hear your name and song on The Sounds of Brazil, and maybe even win a Brazilian CD for yourself and a friend when I play yours. Request a song, artist, or style when you visit the Lounge to place a request!
