What is your name?

My name is Ryan.

Where are you from?

I am from the city of Salvador. It's situated along the northeastern coast of Brazil.

What do you do? Work or study?

Currently, I am pursuing a degree in social sciences at a university in my city.

What do you like about your studies?

I like learning about societal structures. For example, the degree lets me analyse human behaviour and societal dynamics, and these are topics that I find fascinating.

What type of music do you enjoy listening to?

This is probably no surprise, but Brazilian music holds a special place in my heart. I especially like styles such as bossa nova. In fact, I have a Brazilian bossa nova playlist that I listen to almost every day.

When do you usually listen to music?

I often immerse myself in music during relaxing moments, such as when I'm on the beautiful beaches of Salvador or enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Was music a part of your education during your school days?

It was! Music education was integral during my school days in Brazil. We had dedicated classes where we explored the rhythms of samba and the melodies of bossa nova. For us students, these sessions were not only informative but also a source of national pride.

Have you ever learned to play a musical instrument?

Yes. I learned how to play the acoustic guitar. Playing allows me to express the soulful melodies that are deeply ingrained in Brazilian culture.

Do many people in your country enjoy music?

Without a doubt. Music is a fundamental part of life in Brazilian culture. You can hear it pretty much everywhere - on a busy bus or...coming from someone's window as you walk down the street. It's a hallmark of our country.

Thank you.
