During Carnival in Brazil, the streets vibrate with the thunderous beats of the Samba Schools, whose energetic rhythms persuade even the frail to dance. As the parties wind down and a more introspective mood sets in, Brazilians begin to play the softer music for which they are also renowned. From the whispered swing of Bossa Nova to the sweet melodies of samba cancão, Brazil is home to acoustic music that has enchanted listeners around the globe.
