Rádio Metropolitana 98.5 Sertanejo

Rádio Metropolitana 98.5 is a Brazilian station playing sertanejo, the country music of Brazil. The programme is built around the songs of duos and soloists who dominate the national charts, with guitars, accordions and emotional vocals about love and country life, from classic sertanejo to the modern universitário style. The mood is warm, romantic and sing-along.

Brazil has one of the largest radio audiences in the world, with AM and FM stations in every city and a strong tradition of news, sport and music on the air, and Brazilian Portuguese is spoken with a warm and rhythmic character that learners find rewarding. The internet lets Brazilians living abroad keep in touch with the sound of home. As a commercial service, it carries advertising and promotional messages between programmes. The stream is delivered as AAC+ at 48 kbps, a very low bitrate that keeps data use minimal and is adequate for speech, although the sound is thin and not suited to music. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
