"I'm Scott Adams, and I love Brazilian music!"

Radio listeners in more than 60 US cities and five continents have heard our host welcome them to The Sounds of Brazil, every weekend since its debut in 1992.

Today, the unique appeal of 'The Sounds of Brazil!' is stronger than ever: highly visual and emotionally compelling. 'The Sounds of Brazil!' is rhythmic and romantic. It's tropically relaxing and Copacabana chic.

'The Sounds of Brazil!' is classic Bossa Nova from Astrud Gilberto, contemporary jazz from Torcuato Mariano or Boney James, svelte Sambas and Brazilian chill with downtempo, lounge and New Bossa stars from São Paulo, to London, Milan, Tokyo and right back to our flagship home, Chicago.
