Arco da velha

Arco da velha translates roughly to 'old arch' - but in Brazilian Portuguese, it's a phrase for something outdated or from the past. That's probably intentional. This station doesn't chase trends. It plays music. Pure, unpretentious, across styles. You'll hear classic samba and bossa nova alongside forgotten pop tracks from the 70s and 80s.

The DJs (if there are any) let the tracks breathe. It's not slick, and that's its charm.…
