Welcome to The Sounds of Brazil!
For me, remembering Sergio Mendes is an honor. Sergio helped The Sounds of Brazil make its radio broadcast debut in 1992 and he was 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 won the name game hands down. He’s remembered 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 and a timeless tribute!

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