What’s Happening This Week at Connect Brazil

Welcome to The Sounds of Brazil!

Sergio Mendes helped The Sounds of Brazil make its radio broadcast debut in 1992 and he has been with us every step of the way. From our new program’s ‘meet and greet‘ here in Chicago to a wealth of songs from his own 60+ years as Brazil’s greatest musical ambassador.

And recently, an album and documentary for us to enjoy.

So when it comes to Brazilian music, Mendes wins the name game hands down. He’s known for both his smile and his reputation worldwide and across generations.

But what’s really impressive is the long, long list of great musicians who have passed through the Mendes musical universe.

That’s what The Sergio Mendes Alumni Show is all about. It’s a Thanksgiving week tradition!

Thanksgiving Day marks the beginning of our 10th year for Connect Brazil’s ‘live’ streaming station, and I am thankful! Read my message here.

Join me for The Sunday Brazilian Brunch: There’s always a seat at the table for you. Three full hours every Sunday beginning at 5 am Central, and then again at 9 am, 2 pm, and 8 pm. No app is needed when you click the ‘play’ arrow at the bottom of every page at Connectbrazil.com.

Don’t miss ‘New Music Wednesdays’ on Brazil Back2Back, when I’ll feature a pair of songs from our Lounge Page Hot List! Catch Brazil Back2Back every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 11 am and 2 pm Central on the PLAY button below.

Happy Listening,
Scott Adams
