LISTEN to Senado-FM, from Brasilia! 
This is the official radio station of the Brazilian government in Brasilia, so you'll hear live
debate from the Senate floor (in Portuguese, of course) during the hours when the Senate is
in session. The rest of the time, though, you'll hear absolutely classic Brazilian music, free
of commercials. Highly recommended. The best times to tune in are morning and later in the
evening.
You must have the FREE RealAudio player installed on your system.
