Far beyond standard samba and bossa nova, Brazil Now brings together the grooves filling the radios, clubs, and street parties from Rio to Salvador. Rooted in tradition yet infused with funk, rock, pop, and regional energy, this collection delivers the modern rhythms shaping Brazilian music right now.
From celebratory and sun-drenched to raw, percussive, and groove-driven, Brazil Now's carefully crafted presets reflect the diversity and motion of a country constantly reinventing its sound, while staying unmistakably Brazilian.
With 12 distinct styles, authentic guitar presets, and strumming patterns designed for immediate playability with your own chord progressions, Brazil Now gives you the rhythmic foundation of modern Brazil, instantly current, instantly alive.
