Feliz Natal!
Our holiday special sets a festive pace: it’s a radio tradition for Brazilian music fans worldwide, going all the way back to The Sounds of Brazil’s first years.
As with wih all traditions, there’s a story to go along with it as we unwrap a Brazilian Christmas one song at a time. You’ll find our playlist for this week’s show, below.
Naughty or nice? Here’s a topically tropical list of things you should know for the week ahead. Adding a little more ‘Brazil’ to your life can make a pretty neat stocking stuffer for others, too!:
Ho Ho Ho! Beginning at midnight December 21st, 2019 our streaming station at Connectbrazil.com will present A Brazilian Christmas, streamed ‘live’, non-stop and commercial-free through Christmas Day. 2019 marks our 23nd consecutive year. Sounds great on your Smart Phone, too.
