Brazil is conducting various cultural initiatives focused on visual arts and music. Initial efforts include the Circuito de Artes – Moral da História project, which features a visual arts competition in Rio de Janeiro centered on themes of identity and urban life, and the 17th Rádio Nacional Music Festival, which has moved into a public voting phase for its 50 semifinalists.

Subsequent cultural programming highlights diverse musical genres and performances. Television and radio broadcasts are showcasing styles such as ‘Jazz de Terreiro’ via the group Jazz das Minas, as well as blues, soul, and gospel through the ‘Alma Blues’ series. Live events also include classical and popular music performances in Goiânia and Ouro Preto.
