The purpose of this web site is not only to focus attention on The Brazilian Fantasy show but also to show my appreciation for the accomplishments of Cenir, and public radio personalities like her, who perform week after week on public radio stations across America often without pay or benefits. Typical of these D.J.'s, Cenir produces her show and purchases the majority of CDs that she uses. During her show, she is easily accessible by phone so that listeners may ask questions about the music, the language (Portuguese) and culture in Brazil. And that, in my opinion, is performing a public service as this information is not always readily available to the average listener. In addition, I would also like to thank Sue and Don Richardson for their unwavering support of the efforts of both Cenir and Chico and for the best feijoada dinner parties in town. Obrigada!
