Saudade - A Look into Brazilian Music (w/ Carolina Meurkens‪)‬ I Made You A Mixtape

The Mixed Mag team leaves room at the table for exploring a range of reactions and opinions on every bit of our ever-expanding musical landscape. From indie darlings to mainstream pantheons and all the jazz (heh get it?) in between, come vibe with us! And don’t worry, no need to take notes. We made you a mixtape.

While it's doesn't have a direct English translation, Saudade is the word used to describe "a feeling of longing, melancholy, or nostalgia" that is supposedly characteristic of the Portuguese or Brazilian temperament. On today's episode, Joana and Tayo talk with Mixed Mag Editor in Chief and Virgo with the Vision, Carolina Muerkens about the history of Brazilian music and its strong but soft hold on this particular emotion, a feeling that is both parts sweet and sticky; forever fleeting until it turns up at your doorstep like an old friend, as if it never strayed too far in the first place.
