There's music for everything: country music to remind you of the backlands, forró to cheer you up, gospel to give thanks, and even rock to keep you awake!
Best apps for listening to music on the road
The good news is that there are several apps that allow you to listen to music even without internet — ideal for areas where the cell phone signal disappears in the middle of nowhere. Check out the best ones:
1. Spotify
It's the best known in the world, and for good reason: it has millions of songs, podcasts and playlists.
The free version works with ads and requires internet, but with the premium plan you can download your favorite songs and listen offline — perfect for the road.
Create a playlist with different rhythms for each moment of the trip: lively beginning, calm middle and a more mellow end to the journey.
2. deezer
A direct competitor to Spotify, Deezer also lets you download songs and even has a “Flow” feature that mixes your favorite songs with new suggestions. It works well even on simpler phones.
The interface is very light and easy to use, ideal for those who don't want to waste time with complicated configurations.
3. YouTube Music
For those who like to listen to live versions, covers or songs that can only be found on traditional YouTube, this is a good option. The paid version allows you to listen with the screen off and download to listen offline.
Those who enjoy music videos and want to vary their musical style while traveling.
4. Online Radios (Radio Garden, TuneIn, Simple Radio)
These apps let you listen to radio stations from all over Brazil — and the world! It’s great for catching up on your hometown radio station or discovering new stations that play country, forró or gospel music.
Use when you have internet access or are stopped at a station with Wi-Fi.
Final tips for enjoying the road with music
- Create custom playlists: Upbeat music in the morning, calmer rhythms at the end of the day.
- Use headphones with caution: If possible, listen to the vehicle's sound system. Headphones can distract you and are dangerous in certain situations.
- Invest in a good cell phone holder: This way you can change songs safely.
- Car charger is essential: There's nothing worse than running out of battery and music in the middle of the road.
The road may be lonely, but with music it takes on a different rhythm.
Whether it's a Volvo, Scania, Mercedes or DAF truck, the important thing is comfort, safety and a good soundtrack.
