Welcome to Música Brasileira!

Thanks for following us for these past 17+ years, and if you’re a new follower, welcome to MB. Be sure to check what is available in the Sections menu. That pull-down menu gives you access to our archives, and you can also simply choose to use the search function in the upper right-hand corner. Remember that we alphabetize artists here in the Brazilian way: by first names.

Two frequent questions seem to surface about us. First is about who we are. We are consumers just like you who enjoy Brazilian music. The vast majority of the reviews you find here are from CDs, DVDs and other media we purchased. The follow-up question to that is about our tendency to publish positive reviews. Well, we keep the bad apples to ourselves. Just because we spent money on them, it doesn’t mean you should, too.

Don’t forget that you can also listen to the music we review here. Most albums are available online. For your listening pleasure we have also created a few select podcasts as well as a Spotify playlist. You can find those in the Sounds tab.
