Brazilian Folk Music

On air on Tasty TV — always on, pick a channel, not a video.

The regional and traditional music of Brazil beyond samba and bossa nova: the Afro-Brazilian drum circles of Bahia, the accordion and zabumba of the north-east, the gaúcho dances of the south and the choro of Rio. Every region has its own rhythm and its own festival.
