The World

We duck into a music store in Rio de Janeiro for today’s Global Hit. The store is called Modern Sound. And it’s an institution in this Brazilian city. Roberto Medeiros sells CDs there. Correspondent Amy Bracken recently asked him to recommend some of the latest and greatest. Medeiros returned with a stack of 14 CDs. So Amy asked him to narrow it down a bit.

Roberto Medeiros picks at the Modern Sound music store in Rio de Janeiro:

* Paulinho Moska’s new album Zoombido
* Sururu Na Roda’s song “Morena de Angola”
* Vanessa da Mata’s album Sim
