The Sound of Nova Música Carioca

"The Sound of Nova Música Carioca" captures the eclectic and evolving sounds of contemporary Rio de Janeiro, blending indie, MPB, electronic, and experimental influences. With tracks like Ava Rocha’s "LONGE LONGE DE MIM" and Letrux’s "Flerte Revival," the playlist reflects the city's playful yet introspective songwriting. The mix also includes modern interpretations of Brazilian classics, like Julia Mestre’s take on "Agora Só Falta Você," alongside fresh compositions from artists such as Mahmundi, Alice Caymmi, and Ana Frango Elétrico.

From the groovy "Qual É A Sua?" by Mahmundi to the atmospheric "Farol" by Maria Luiza Jobim and Otto, the playlist moves between upbeat rhythms and laid-back melodies. There are nods to samba, rock, and jazz with contributions from Antônio Neves, Jorge Mautner, and Alberto Continentino, while electronic and experimental elements surface in tracks like Thiago Nassif’s "Pele de Leopardo - Cornelius Remix." Whether revisiting beloved sounds or pushing boundaries, "The Sound of Nova Música Carioca" offers a dynamic look at Rio's contemporary music scene.
