Brazilian pop -- "musica popular brasiliera," or simply "MPB" -- is a catch-all phrase which the Brazilian people loosely apply to all of their country's musics. In the 1930s, the development of national radio first made it possible for Brazilian performers to build up large audiences across the country; presently, an almost endless variety of music takes its place in the MPB spectrum, all of it connected by its underlying ties to regional music-making.
