    I love to listen to bossa nova and samba in hot weather…  Putumayo’s collections, Brasil ’66, etc.

    Big fan of this mix I found on Sounds and Colours — a good mix of tunes from all over South America

    On today’s show you said the Alabama shakes were from Athens, GA. While Athens, GA has a great music scene, the Alabama Shakes are from Athens, AL. Please give my state the recognition! Thanks.
