Ready for Spring? For Brazilian music fans, Women’s History Month is off to a great start.
It’s the 50th anniversary of Elis & Tom’s recording of ‘Aguas de Março’ plus March birthdays for Elis, Flora Purim, Astrud Gilberto, and Eliane Elias.
Connect Brazil’s live streaming station is spinning a different version of ‘The Waters of March’ daily. The Women of Brazilian Song streaming channel is playing its role, and fans are reading homepage stories like this one.
JAZZIZ magazine’s focus on Brazilian music releases in March, too. I was invited to write the issue’s Coda column and was asked to consult on tracks for the included sampler.
Check out our full-page ad in the JAZZIZ print edition and tell me what you think!
Here’s a note of thanks. Publisher Michael Fagien hired me at the start of my career with Brazilian music and it’s an honor to be included.
Charting Action
Unique for Brazilian music, the New Music: Brazil channel is bringing us closer to a listener-based chart for Brazilian music. Here’s what we are seeing:
- 25 of the top 100 songs of 2023 resulted in at least 15,000 plays and 50 listener ratings. That’s an 11% increase over 2022.
- The top-performing songs garnered at least 25k plays.
- The Top 2 songs of 2023 surpassed 35k plays.
