August’s Rio Doce pays tribute to the samba singer, composer, and legend Arlindo Cruz, who passed away last week. Arlindo was — and will always be — one of the greatest voices in Brazilian samba. He deeply influenced my journey and was the one who took me to my very first samba gatherings. This August will forever be remembered for his voice and his compositions. With all our love, from Rio Doce.

Old friends and hapless mavericks Ivan Smagghe and Nathan Gregory Wilkins present a fortnightly window into their ramshackle musical world. A show with absolutely no rules (as they'd only break them). We love the unmixable, old & new. We are oddballs and we love you.
