The songs we've listened to throughout our lives have lead us to other sounds and styles that have broadened our horizons, and Brazilian music is no different.

That's why Connectbrazil.com provides a color-coded system: Blue for 'Passport' items and green for 'Brazilian'.

Passport: Passport items have blue pages. Think of these items as familiar touchstones: A 'Passport' CD might feature an American singer like Randy Crawford or John Legend. At Connectbrazil.com Lee Ritenour is a 'Passport' musician. So are Stan Getz, John Klemmer and Yutaka.

Brazilian: Connectbrazil.com's green-colored pages are reserved for purely 'Brazilian' items. It's an easy way to know that what you're looking at is the real thing - 100% Brazil.

As your interest and appreciation of Brazilian music and culture grows, I'm sure you'll discover that this simple distinction - blue or green - is a handy guide to exploring our website at your own pace!
