The Copacabana Palace Playlist

"This song is written by Caetano Velloso and sung here by Xande, a singer that I love. For me, this was the best album on Rio's music scene release last year. It's overwhelming to listen to, very romantic."

"This is a wonderful carioca music group from the suburbs of the city. It's charming and perfect for dancing."

"My most recent musical discovery, which is too good not to share!"

"Agnes Nunes is a young female talent in Brazil; I adore her musical references and background."

"I adore his compositions and voice. He's in a delicate health situation, so we must appreciate his voice while we can."

"Rael e Emicida are one of my favorites. They talk about daily life and adulthood with such sensitivity."

"I love going to Los Hermanos concerts. When they play this song live, it feels like a beautiful prayer."

"Again, another beautiful song from this incredible album. From top to bottom, there's no bad song on the whole record."

"Another recent discovery for me. The groove is so smooth and relaxing on the ear."

"I adore this song. It talks about motherhood, and raising a kid... I always get very emotional when I listen to it."

"This is a Rio de Janeiro classic. There's nothing like it."

"This is a great way to end this playlist. This album is incredible, and I think this song is the most beautiful in the world."
