Chris Avilês – Águas Passadas

Brazil | MPB

Tune in to Brasil Fora da Caixa, daily at 8 AM (GMT -3)

Chris Avilês presents his new original single, "Águas Passadas"—a sensitive and poetic song about how the past, when least expected, insists on invading the present, like water finding its way through stones. With his smooth and distinctive voice, Chris delivers emotion in every verse, backed by an enchanting melody and rich production that makes this track truly moving..

Soul de Vienne – This Night Is Ours

Áustria | Soul/Funk/Jazz

Tune in to Vasto Mundo, daily at 4 AM (GMT -3)

"This Night Is Ours" is a powerful live-recorded soul-funk experience born in Vienna’s vibrant underground scene. Rooted in jazz, classic soul, and modern funk, the track captures a moment of emotional clarity—a night where everything aligns: love, rhythm, and self-expression. Led by a powerhouse female vocalist, lush harmonies, and a live brass section, the music breathes authenticity. No synths, no loops—just real instruments, real musicians.

7 Jester Of Spades – Talking Is A Muscle Movement Too Tense

Germany | Eclectic/Ambient

Tune in to Vasto Mundo, daily at 4 AM (GMT -3)

Uma faixa extremamente atmosférica, focada em ambiência e inspirada em música eletrônica, jazz e dub. A música desacelera, criando um clima contemplativo, exceto no refrão, onde o delay é maximizado, gerando uma paleta sonora única. Este single faz parte de um EP conceitual que conta uma história — por enquanto, misteriosa em seu significado.

Electric Joker – Neon Parade

Belgium | Electronic/Pop Rock

Tune in to Vasto Mundo, daily at 4 AM (GMT -3)

Bart, the mind behind Electric Joker, has over 40 years of musical passion, exploring genres like reggae, dub, funk, rock, and even Latin rhythms. "Neon Parade" features a calm beat with a building structure and vocals from Canadian artist Wazmo, blending retro new wave elements into a fresh, genre-defying sound.

Night Ritualz – Piensa En Mi

USA | Synthwave/Pop Rock

Tune in to Latino.fm, daily at 5 PM (GMT -3)

A surprising Spanish version of the Brazilian song “Pense em Mim,” made famous by Leandro and Leonardo, about longing to be seen. With a modern and powerful synthwave aesthetic, “Piensa En Mi” carries Latin nostalgia in a bold and engaging reinterpretation.

Kankélé – Bere Tounouna

Burkina Faso/France | Ethnic/Jazz/Folk

Tune in to Vasto Mundo, daily at 4 AM (GMT -3)

"Bere Tounouna" (meaning "the cane of certain elders is lost") is a hypnotic composition blending jazz, folk, and the resonant tones of the balafon (a West African percussion instrument). Sung in Bambara and Spanish, the track reflects on intergenerational dialogue and the tension between tradition and modernity. The Franco-Burkinabè band Kankélé is set to release their second album, "Bala Groove", in 2025.

Alê Balbo – A Perda

Brazil | Experimental/Ethnic

Tune in to Brasil Fora da Caixa, daily at 8 AM (GMT -3)

A dense, ancestral soundscape featuring taiko drums, djembes, reco-reco, timpani, and crystal glasses, creating a rich sonic texture. The track portrays a moment of spiritual turmoil for the protagonist, Rudá, after devastating news. With creative drum and bass arrangements, the composition takes on a bold and transformative tone.
