Soma Bosa Nova

Soma Bosa Nova is a station dedicated to the gentle sway of bossa nova: that unmistakable Brazilian sound born in Rio's beachside apartments. The playlist draws heavily from the classic era: Joao Gilberto's whispery guitar, Stan Getz's cool sax, Astrud Gilberto's vocals. Modern interpreters like Marcos Valle and Bebel Gilberto appear too, but the heart is mid-60s bossa. It's the kind of radio you put on when the afternoon sun hits the window just right. Not for the restless - this music demands you slow down. The stream runs at 128kbps, adequate for background listening. You can listen to Soma…
