Bem Brasil #85, Featuring Marinês e Sua Gente Airs This Sunday!

On today's  Bem Brasil Radio, we'll go back once again to the musically rich state of Pernambuco and listen to the Luiz Gonzaga influenced grooves of the queen of Xaxado, aka Marinês , the first woman to form a Forró group and whose career spanned 50 years.

In the second hour, we will enjoy our usual variety of great artists and bands. Whether you tune in live or download the program (heck, why not do both?), This is a show you will not want to miss!

YouTube Pick of the Week #5: Brasil, Brasil (2007) - Episode 1: From Samba to Bossa Nova

Here is a very informative documentary produced by The BBC. Covering cultural, economic and historic aspects of Brazilian culture, this program traces the origins of Brazilian music back to the 19th century and covers some of the major figures, cultural and political, that contributed to make Brazilian music an international phenomenon, something that did not happen overnight.

Many celebrities contribute to the show, including Pelé, Bebel Gilberto, Caetano Veloso, Carlos Lyra, Roberto Menescal, Elza Soares, Jaques Morelenbaum, among others, talking about various influential artists including Pixinguinha (Check show # 4), João Gilberto (Check Show #9), Tom Jobim (Check Show #20), among others.  Warning: This Program contains some nudity.
