We’re in sunny Rio de Janeiro — a city that shaped our musical story.

In the first chapter of this three-part adventure, we dive into Brazilian Funk (not the funk you know!) — a sound born in the favelas, powered by heavy bass, off-beat percussion, and bold lyrics. We also explore Little Africa, the historic heart of Afro-Brazilian culture and the birthplace of Samba, before ending the day at Samba do Trabalhador, Brazil’s biggest Monday party!

Featuring: Roberta Fortuna (Journalist), Priscilla Casagrande (Museu De Arte Representative), Sabrina Ginga (Dancer & Social Scientist), Valdemar Vargas (Afro Historian & Tour Guide), Bruno (Samba fan), and Jacqueline Marttins (Samba do Trabalhador Event Producer).

Presented and produced by Frank McWeeny. Additional production by Marília Feix and Ana Beatriz Coelho. Executive producers: Marcelo Velit & Derek Barbolla.

We're back in Cappadocia, where one of the most watched Cercle shows took place in 2020. Ben Böhmer performing in a hot air balloon, surrounded by stunning mountains, plateaus and fairy chimneys. Imagine that!

In the second half of this two-part adventure, we visit places where carpets and pottery tell stories which have defined this region for thousands of years, meet Ben Böhmer for an intimate performance in a secluded location, and get lost in the breathtaking landscapes of Cappadocia...from the top!

Contributors: Şemsettin, Oskan, Ferda & Emre, Ali, Derek & Ben Böhmer.
