From the moment one hears "Girl from
Ipanema," the show's opening theme
song, along with Cenir's deep, sultry
voice a Brazilian fantasy begins.

has having "the sexist voice on Denver's
air waves" in 1996 by Westword Magazine.

Brazil, Cenir was raised in Rio de

rounded knowledge of Brazilian music.
Her program features most genres of

changing musical scene in Brazil.
Always on the lookout for new music
on trips to Rio and here in the U.S.,
she replenishes her collection of
Brazilian CDs now numbering over
1,500!
