From the golden coastline of Copacabana to the bohemian alleys of Lapa, this week’s Worldy celebrates Rio de Janeiro in all its sweaty, swaying, sun-soaked glory. Samba, funk, jazz-fusion, Tropicália, and street soul collide in a tribute to the sounds that shaped – and still shake – the Marvelous City.
We spin deep cuts and classics alike: Banda Black Rio brings the bounce, Marcos Valle gets cheeky, and Ary Lobo lights up the night with forró flair. We slide from samba de morro to Red Hot + Rio and land somewhere between Candomblé spirituality and dancefloor liberation. It’s Rio as a mood board, a mixtape, and a manifesto.
Obrigado for listening to Worldy, your passport to music without borders. Cheers Big Ears.
