Manhattan Connection - Copacabana Connection (10/10/2025). On today's show: Michael Franks' Sleeping Gypsy and his deep admiration for Brazil. The story behind Peninha's Sozinha, inspired by his daughter's first heartbreak and madefamous by Sandra de Sá. Plus Ed Motta's early days singing in English without speaking it. A messy, beautiful mix of soul, funk, R&B, and jazz - and plenty more stories in between.
