Rádio Ginga Pagodeira

Rádio Ginga Pagodeira is a Brazilian internet radio station based in Taguatinga, in the Federal District (Distrito Federal), that is dedicated to playing Samba and Pagode (a subgenre of samba). Pagode is a subgenre of samba that emerged in the Rio de Janeiro suburbs, characterized by a lighter sound and often featuring romantic lyrics. The station is described as playing “pagode and samba 24h,” suggesting continuous (around-the-clock) music in that genre. Ginga Pagodeira reflects its focus: “Ginga” refers to a characteristic swaying or movement (often associated with capoeira or dance), and “Pagodeira” refers to a Pagode party or the music itself. The station’s playlist items include songs by artists/bands such as Zeca Pagodinho (“Guiomar”), Raça Negra (“Maravilha”), and Negritude Júnior (“Timidez”).
