Joao Gilberto

'Joao'  - a Bossa Nova classic & another great CD for you to enjoy from Connectbrazil.com!
 
November's 'Radio & Webcasts' Theme:
The History of Bossa Nova

The history of Bossa Nova unfolds like a screenplay: filled with interesting personalities (including João Gilberto, left), curious stories and defining moments. This month, we'll kick off a 12 month salute to Brazil's most famous song style with four weeks of Bossa-filled fun on the radio with our syndicated show, The Sounds of Brazil, and here online at Connectbrazil.com

We'll begin with a story that goes all the way back to the early days of Rio de Janeiro's love affair with that new musical style, to reflect on the events that led to a cultural confrontation for Carioca teens - the night that Bossa Nova went to school! story

 
 
Carmen Miranda'Carmen Miranda's Ultimate Collection' - another great CD for you to enjoy at Connectbrazil.com!
50 (more) Years of Carmen Miranda's Vivacious Style in Song

Every February, Carmen Miranda's birthday still captures headlines and even now - more than 50 years after her passing - there's no doubt that Carmen Miranda remains larger than life. Her fruit-topped turbans and yards of Brazilian bling have inspired countless female impersonators and drag queens from San Francisco to Copacabana, making her one of the most imitated celebrities ever.

But lest you think that the chronicle of charismatic Carmen's caricature is completely camp, consider: In 1939, Carmen Miranda was at the height of her popularity as a singer and performer in Brazil when she arrived in the US as her country's Ambassador of Good Will for the New York World's Fair. feature
