On today's show, we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the first explosion of the bossa nova — in the summer of 1958, with songs like Joao Gilberto's "Chega de Saudade" and "Desafinado" (with Stan Getz), a new wave of rhythm and melody was shot through the Brazilian scene (and eventually to the world). Peak Time correspondent Harley Brown sits down with Brooklyn DJ, writer and music supervisor Greg Caz of Brazilian Beat to talk about the soothing South American sound and play some classic cuts. We also call up Christine Kakaire to get a recap of this weekend's sold-out Flow Festival in Helsinki, Finland, before we rap with journalist and Baltimore native Lawrence Burney about his new weekly show, True Laurels (soon to launch on Red Bull Radio) and get an exquisite preview of the new Alumni Mix from Cairo artist Bosaina.
