Sound & Colour: Onda de verão

SOAS Radio

In this follow-up to the Standing in the Sun episode, Paolo invites you to listen to a few more songs evoking the feeling of a sunny afternoon. The name of the episode is inspired by the wonderful song Onda (which means wave in Portuguese) of the amazing Brazilian musician Cassiano. Verão means summer in Portuguese, and so the title is "summer wave". In addition to referencing one of Brazil's greats in its title, this episode focuses mostly on the country's funk and soul scene from the 70s onwards with some intermissions from Rwanda, France and New York.
