One of our favorite words in Brazilian Portuguese is jeito . Basically, it translates as ‘finding a way’ to make something happen. In fact, the mere mention of the word can result in a creative spark. That’s the story behind guitarist Phill Fest’s Seresta album, recorded spontaneously in Porto Alegre, last fall.
Another word. Seresta means sizzle in Portuguese, and ‘Tereko’ is the song that provides the spark. Press play, and you’re greeted with an air of mystery. First, it’s a loose interplay between Fest’s guitar, Tuti Rodrigues’s berimbau, and Santos’s soprano sax. Next, the song begins to gel as it settles into a simmering baiao rhythm that’s simply captivating. Finally, 60 seconds in, and you’re hooked. ‘Tereko’ captures your attention and won’t let go. It’s a musical experience that you’ll want to listen to time and again.

A new song from Marisa Monte came as a surprise during the opening night of a four-concert run in Rio de Janeiro. Titled ‘Feliz, Alegre e Forte’, the cool, samba was nowhere to be found when Portas was released last year. Amazingly, it was already recorded and just waiting for the perfect moment to be unveiled.
“When Portas came out, I saved this song to release on stage, singing live, at the tour’s debut, in Rio de Janeiro,” Monte said. “The premiere in Rio was postponed and the music was kept. I finally arrived happy, happy, and strong in my city to sing the song for the first time the way I imagined it,” she told us. There’s a lot to like about this final new song. The horn section gives the song a hint of smooth Brazilian funk without being pushy. The musical vibe reflects the song title. Happy, joyful, and strong.
It took about 50 minutes for saxophonist Stan Getz and guitarist Charlie Byrd to record Jazz Samba in 1962. It went on to make history as the first Jazz album to chart #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100.
Now, this landmark recording has received a 60-year compliment courtesy of guitarist Nate Najar’s Jazz Samba Pra Sempre . Najar’s tribute has taken every step to pay homage. The arrangements, the musicians – even the instruments they play – are thoughtfully chosen to honor what has come before.
Najar’s fascination with Charlie Byrd led him to procure Byrd’s original guitar. However, he didn’t stop there. Nate Najar located the stand-up bass used by Byrd’s Trio, then he introduced himself to Byrd’s drummer. The result is both authentic and contemporary. An album that’s earned a place next to the original.

Admittedly, 2019’s Songs In The Key of Joy was a long time in the making. More than two and a half years passed from the time we posted the first rumors on the homepage at Connect Brazil to its release date. However, it all came together with not only two different editions of the album but also the long-awaited documentary on Sergio Mendes’s life in music. Through it all, Sergio’s calling card is his uncanny ability to stay on the pulse of pop music. And ‘Time Goes By’ (the final single from the album) is a perfect example.
Mentored by Stevie Wonder and a protégée of Quincy Jones, Sheléa delivers a smoothly sensual urban-tinged bossa nova. The lyrics tell the story of love remembered: Time goes by, never slowing. In my mind, I am going down to where memories are found…I hear your voice, the sweetest sound. It’s a tune that’s waiting to be added to your personal playlist as we spring into summer this year. You’ll find others from the album that are equally as compelling. So was Key of Joy worth the wait? Yep. So good that we can’t wait for Sergio’s next album. Even if we have to.

Far from Rio and the tropical Atlantic coast, lies the inland city of Belo Horizonte, the musical home to Milton Nascimento. It’s also home to this new singer and songwriter, who came to music just a few short years ago and is making a name for herself with original songs like that one. A great addition for our Brazilian Hits: Spring Into Summer ’22 video music showcase.
Released on Brazil’s Discovery Day – which is also her birthday – it’s a song about a dream come true kind of love. A too good to be true love song called ‘Todo Lembra Voce’. ‘Everything reminds me of you.’ Voice and lyrics, sung in real life by Rayane Boldrini. Another new Brazilian voice to keep an ear on.
As the careers of our favorite Brazilian jazzers wind down, our desire for breezy C-Jazz sounds seeks out new names. Happily, the ‘next Brazilian wave’ is never far away. Enter Geneve 5, the two-man music machine that served up ‘Boss-A-Nova’ as its sophomore single.
Saxophonist Melvin Butler and guitarist and keyboardist Oliver Wendell have crafted a supremely subtle and breezy summertime anthem. Even the atmospherics are a delightful touch. C-Jazz stars like Geneve 5, Philippe Saisse, and Carol Albert will do just fine until Brazil decides to export its own contemporary jazz once again. As Antonio Carlos once said, any song sounds better as a Bossa Nova. Like what you hear? Then, you’ll be happy to know that there are dozens more waiting for you on Connect Brazil’s live streaming station. Always free too.
Maybe it’s the morning sun pool at the Hotel Fairmont in Copacabana. Perhaps it’s finding your place on the beach at Ipanema. Whatever. There are certain kinds of songs you want to hear when you slip in your earbuds while letting the sun do its thing.
Jorge Vercillo’s ‘Endereço’ is one of those. It has a throwback sound, kind of like a Brazil Top 40 hit. Unashamedly pop, Vercillo’s voice washes over you like an ocean breeze. This song is his first release of the year but is it his best?
That depends. Are you enjoying the heat of the sun? Do you have a caipirinha in your hand?
We’re not sure if Marvin Gaye ever performed in Brazil. However, it’s easy to think that he did when you listen to this song. It’s the amazing re-creation by brothers Frank and Christian Berman which transformed the platinum-selling, Grammy-winning song into an explosive horn-driven samba.
Years ago, Christian called us to explain how it happened. “We were able to locate and use Marvin’s original voice tracks from the song. Then we took them to Rio, where we enlisted the best musicians in town.” His list includes guitarists Mario Adnet and Torcuato Mariano, and Bossa Nova’s consummate drummer Paulo Braga.
Honestly, Studio Rio’s version sounds exactly as if Gaye had recorded it that way. A perfect addition to this year’s Spring Into Summer video music showcase.
Where is the best Bossa Nova on the planet coming from these days? Italy might provide a clue. Italian filmmakers and soundtrack composers like Ennio Morricone embraced the Brazilian style. Italian music labels nurtured the careers of Toco and Rosalia de Souza. Today, Italian groups like Caibedo Island, Café Roma, Latin Vibe, and Mazachigno are keeping the Bossa Nova sound fresh.
Enter bassist Felice Del Gaudio and friends, whose unnamed group serves up new summertime anthems for us to enjoy. Their latest tune is the jazzy, finger-snapping and breezy ‘Bossa Amarela,’ with Pietro Beltrani and Delga. Think cocktails at sunset with Brazilian appetizers. You’re all set.
Francisco, José, and João. When we last left Gilsons, we were in the process of making introductions. Our streaming station began playing music by this wonderfully entertaining group of musicians several years ago. And we think it’s pretty darn cool that they all have family ties to Gilberto Gil. Hence, the name.
Since then, this talented trio of young singers has battled through COVID, a failing economy, and failing leadership. Just like us. And while they recorded vidclip singles for a thriving fanbase, circumstances led to a delay for their highly-anticipated album.
The wait is over with the release of Pra Gente Acordar . Each of the nine songs carries the group’s signature style. Smoothly intricate rhythms and the generationally-soothing vocal warmth handed down by Gilberto Gil. So go ahead. Introduce yourself. Then do the same for your friends. After all, that’s what great music is all about.

The following list includes some of the most famous Brazilian songs ever recorded in history. This selection of tracks was produced by a group of artists responsible for shaping the sounds of Brazilian music . If you want to get a feeling for this wonderful music, these singles will lead you in the right direction.
This song is probably the most prominent hit from the album with the same name. Panis et Circensis is the name of a collaboration work that included the talent of artists such as Gilberto Gil , Caetano Veloso, Nara Leao and Gal Costa. This track is a point of reference for anyone with an interest in knowing more about the sounds that shaped the Brazilian Popular Music (MPB) movement and, in particular, the Tropicalia phenomenon that changed Brazilian music in the 1960s.
This song is one of the most beautiful Brazilian love songs ever written. The melody is delicate and harmonious and the lyrics are honest, moving and heartbreaking. This track may be the best song Roberto Carlos has ever produced. In addition to this, "Detalhes" played an important role in the making of modern Brazilian Pop music.
Back in 1959, there was an album that started the whole Bossa Nova movement. The name of that work was Chega de Saudade and its sounds were heavily influenced by the revolutionary guitar playing style created by João Gilberto . "Desafinado" became one of the best singles from that album and a worldwide sensation after it was recorded by Stan Getz and Charlie Bird in 1962.
"Brasileirinho" is one of those songs that have become part of the collective soul of Brazil. An amazing choro composed by cavaquinho player Waldir Azevedo back in 1947, "Brasileirinho" has been a musical point of reference for generations in Brazil. This is a top song within the Choro genre, a musical style that has touched almost every corner of the Brazilian music realm.
"Roda Viva" is one of the first Brazilian songs that spoke against the dictatorship of the 1960s and 1970s in that country. In this sense, this song is a pioneer in the fight against oppression and censorship. The lyrics are subtle but strong if one listens carefully. This song is one of the most brilliant pieces written by Chico Buarque, one of the best Brazilian musicians in history.
From one of the most innovative Brazilian artists, "Mas Que Nada" represents the beginning of Jorge Ben's career. Besides the appeal that Jorge Ben created with his unique musical style, which combined Samba , Rock , and Funk, this artist was able to create a particular connection with the people thanks to the honest and simple language he incorporated into his music. This eternal song enjoyed a recent success thanks to the version that Sergio Mendes put together with the Black Eyed Peas .
This song is part of the Brazilian pride. In fact, it was written in 1939 by Ary Barroso, a musician who invented the so-called Samba of Exaltation , which focused on music that highlighted the beauty of Brazilian nature. This song has been the most recorded Brazilian single after "Garota de Ipanema" (" The Girl From Ipanema ") and even Donald Duck danced to its beats in the famous Disney animated picture Saludos Amigos . This is definitely one of the most famous Brazilian songs in history.
"Chega de Saudade" is commonly regarded as the most important piece of Bossa Nova . This single was written by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes in 1957 and it was part of the album Cancao Do Amor Demais . However, it became a real hit with Joao Gilberto's version from the album Chega de Saudade , a musical production that became an inspiration for several Brazilian artists.
"Aguas De Marco" is considered by many the most important Brazilian song ever recorded. In fact, in 2001 it gained the title as the best Brazilian song in history in a contest organized by the newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo. The most outstanding version of this song was the one produced by Elis Regina and Tom Jobim for the album Elis & Tom recorded in 1974. A beautiful, delicate song that describes a natural environment that gives birth to life.
"The Girl From Ipanema," the English name of this song, is the most famous Brazilian song in history. In fact, it is still the most recorded Brazilian track to date. Thanks to the English version from the album Getz/Gilberto , this single won a Grammy for Record of the Year in 1965. A simple song inspired by the gorgeous figure of a girl walking through the beaches of Rio de Janeiro.
