In this episode, I will embark on a vibrant musical journey through the soul-stirring rhythms, grooves, and melodies of Brazil. From the samba-infused funk of Banda Black Rio’s “Expresso Madureira” to the hypnotic pulse of Airto’s “Tombo in 7/4,” this playlist celebrates the rich fusion of jazz, samba, and bossa nova that has captivated listeners around the world.

I will dive into the magnetic voices of Sandra de Sá and Miriam Makeba, groove to the playful swing of Trio Mocotó, and lose ourselves in the cinematic elegance of Lalo Schifrin’s “Bossa Nova em Nova York.” Experience the cosmic allure of Flora Purim alongside the timeless brilliance of Jorge Ben and Toquinho’s "Carolina Carol Bela."

Every track tells a story steeped in Brazilian culture, resilience, and joy.

So sit back, stream in, and let Jazz Matters take you on a soulful adventure as we explore some of Brazil’s rich musical tapestry.

This is Jazz Matters: Digs Brazil – where music truly matters.
