My first trip to Brazil was in March of 1987 - to Rio de Janeiro, and it had nothing to do with music. But as vacations go, it was a life-changing experience. A few years later, the 'Brazilian bug' had really bitten and I returned to Brazil as a freelance writer to interview singer Caetano Veloso and to cover Brazil's first democratic Presidential election in its modern era. Many such trips followed over the years. Connectbrazil.com began its life in 1997 as a companion website for listeners to our syndicated radio program 'The Sounds of Brazil'. We began to webcast our radio program in 1999 and soon began hearing from new friends in Australia, England, Germany, Italy, Japan and… Brazil. Full circle! Connectbrazil.com is a long way removed from those first exciting days in Rio years ago. What began as an infatuation has grown to become a small business enterprise and my lifework. We work diligently to create a place for Brazilian music on the Internet for fans like you - and me - to call 'home' and it's my pleasure to welcome you. I hope you enjoy your visit and will return to us often. Scott Adams, Publisher Connectbrazil.com
