Brazilian Wax! was a weekly Internet radio program dedicated to presenting the best of Brazilian music. Here is its old web page:
If you think Brazilian music is nothing more than sappy bossa nova and soulless smooth jazz, then you absolutely need to check out Brazilian Wax.
On Brazilian Wax, whether
we’re spinning vinyl or spinning
a hard drive, we strive to take
you along on an amazing ride of discovery as we traverse the length and breadth of one of the world’s richest musical cultures. From the sambas of Rio and the funky accordion music of the
Northeast to the Afro-beat of Bahia and the lilting choros of a century ago, we’ll play it all. From the very old to the very new. Hell, we’ll even throw in the social and cultural lowdown for free.
But we promise it will never be boring. And never a note of Kenny G! This is not like any other Brazilian show you’ve ever heard…except last week’s Brazilian Wax!
