Patrick’s Reviews > Brazil on the Rise: The Story of a Country Transformed > Status Update

Never knew Brazil uses ethanol/gasoline with ethanol as a fuel source for cars. At least, I don’t know about in 2026 but definitely at the time of this book’s publication..

The fact that that author managed to interview a number of famous Brazilians amazes me.

Excited to be starting the chapter about culture. I imagine there’ll be talk about the greatness of 1960’s/1970’s Brazilian music. And of course, 1959’s great Chega de Saudade, arguably the first Bossa Nova album.
