Brazil Re-covered: A Summer 2012 Special

Hosted by Béco Dranoff

Originally aired 8/6/12

August in NY feels just like January in Rio – Hot long days, late sunsets and everyone is in a very relaxed frame of mind. It really feels like vacation time around here. To go with this flow, Sonoridade host and producer Béco Dranoff created a very special and surprising mix of classic and modern covers of Brazilian standards re-interpreted by such Jazz masters as Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughn, and modernists such as Amy Winehouse, Sinéad O’Connor, Esperanza Spalding and many more. Relax, get the Caipirinha’s going and let this chilled set of timeless music cool your summer days.
