Listen to radios, not algorithms.
Brazilian music, beyond the obvious
Brazilian music offers far more than one sound. Samba and bossa nova sit alongside MPB, soul, funk and contemporary records. These radios approach that repertoire differently: an archive-led programme, a groove-focused selection, or a route through jazz.
This is a guide to the music, rather than a list of stations physically based in Brazil. Rádio Batuta MPB comes from Instituto Moreira Salles; the three OBA! CULTURA channels are published by a French association. Their separate programmes are included so you can choose by sound.
Choose a station
Paul In Rio Radio
Paris, France
Brazilian grooves moving through MPB, samba, soul and funk. The listener-supported OBA! CULTURA selection connects discoveries with familiar voices.
Blue Bossa Nova Radio
Paris, France
The bossa nova, samba and jazz side of the same association. Choose this channel when you want that corner of the repertoire rather than its broader groove selection.
A wider route through Brazilian discoveries and Latin sounds. Expect a different programme from its sister channels, rather than an exclusively bossa nova station.
How listening works
These are live radio streams: the music is chosen by each station. FDSP checks for an identified artist and title before offering playback. When Auto-zap is on, the end of a track takes you to another available radio; turn it off in the player to stay on your chosen station.
Programmes change throughout the day. This guide describes each station’s selection; the current track on its page tells you what is available now.
