Novedos: Brazilian Rare Grooves

Novedos: Brazilian Rare Grooves is a sonic journey into the lesser-known corners of Brazilian music, curated by San Francisco-based selector Forty Fivan. Each episode is built from his personal archive of rare vinyl, focusing on the unique and often overlooked gems that exist outside the well-trodden paths of bossa nova and samba. This podcast is for those who crave discovery, where the warm crackle of a needle on wax is part of the experience. You'll hear forgotten psychedelic rock, obscure funk, private-press MPB, and regional rhythms that tell a deeper story of the country's rich musical landscape. Forty Fivan's expertise as a DJ and collector shapes every mix, blending tracks with a narrative flow that highlights their hidden connections and raw beauty. The result is more than a playlist; it's an archival dive and a personal tour through sounds that are passionate, rhythmic, and frequently surprising. Tune in for a consistently fresh perspective, where every episode of this podcast promises a new, immersive chapter in the vast and vibrant story of Brazilian grooves.
