What was supposed to have been an innocent rant against the sell-out of the rock'n'roll concept by the promoters of Brazilian-music festival Rock In Rio to big corporations, turned out to be, by sheer force of the modern information highway, something of a broader scope. If the revolution is not going to be televised, as they say, we guarantee it will be podcast.			As we observe the popular protests taking place across the globe, we couldn't help but recall a speech given by peace activist John Pilger back in 2009, in which he already detected that something was stirring: "My own guess is that a populism is growing once again in America, evoking a powerful force beneath the surface which has a proud history."			Why should a Brazilian-music show be so involved in the Occupy discussions? That's because it's made by real people who care about the real world they live in. So in the third part of its Occupy series, the Caipirinha Appreciation Society brings you another great selection of music and analysis on the demonstrations.
The Caipirinha Appreciation Society is a Brazilian-music show produced for London's SOAS RADIO, bringing a wide selection of songs of all styles, regions and time-periods, from vintage sambas to modern blends. On our websitewe store over 100 hours-worth of previously broadcast shows - packed full of the finest, most interesting Brazilian music there is to be found - to listen to online or download for free.If you do not wish to receive further issues of this newsletter, please reply with the text: "No, thanks".

Produced for the University of London’s SOAS Radio and shared with the world as a podcast, the Caipirinha Appreciation Society offers its audience two hours of wonderful under-exposed Brazilian music of all styles, regions and time-periods, from vintage sambas to modern blends.

Produzido para a rádio inglesa SOAS Radio - da University of London - e difundido para o mundo como podcast, o Caipirinha Appreciation Society oferece à sua audiência internacional duas horas de música brasileira pouco explorada pela mídia, de todos os estilos, regiões e períodos, de sambas clássicos a misturas modernas.

MdC Suingue (Portuguese for "Swing") founded the Caipirinha Appreciation Society in 2004, to show the world that there is a lot more to Brazilian music than what radio stations and record companies would have you believe. Kika Serra joined the CAS in 2006, when the show became a bi-national broadcast.
