Welcome to The Sounds of Brazil!

It’s official: Parts of the country are seeing their first snowflakes this week; ditto for the cold and below-normal temps… and we haven’t even reached Thanksgiving!

Well, the warmth of Brazilian Jazz will push all of our weather worries aside with a ‘best of’ show for Brazil’s greatest Diva… two full hours for The Sounds of Brazil this week (even more when you click here!).

The big news from Rio is Marisa Monte’s jaw-dropping announcement of her new deal with Sony Music and her new studio album, the first in a decade. Check out the links below:
