Brazilians listen to American Music

I wasn't expeting this, but I guess it's pretty common for radio stations in other coutries to play american pop music. The pop station in Jau' plays the exact same pop music as you would hear in New York, even the raspy announcer dude is the same person: "The - number - one - hit - music - station!". They have some other stations that play lots madonna and 80's hits... American classic rock & roll... American pump up & work out at the gym (nickelback, lincin Park, etc. They've also got plenty of Brazilian ststions, but I was suprised that the radio was so similar. The video above is a popular local band that plays a bunch of american pop hits. They were very good musicians, even if you can't tell from the video.
