The Ambassador (Allen Thayer) (2).jpg

Allen Thayer is one of the preeminent Brazilian music scholars/journalists in the U.S. As an author, music journalist, radio show host, and DJ, he’s devoted over 20 years to exploring the depths of Brazilian music. Thayer has interviewed over two dozen iconic Brazilian musicians - both contemporary stars like Seu Jorge, and icons like Sergio Mendes. He recently penned the definitive English language book about one of Brazil’s musical icons, the infamous “James Brown of Brazil”, Tim Maia. Published by Bloomsbury's iconic 33 1/3 imprint, a series that encourages deep dives into seminal albums, Thayer’s volume is a groundbreaking exploration of the Brazilian soul superstar's existential detour on his legendary "cult" albums: “Tim Maia Racional Vols. 1 & 2”. In addition to magazine work for Wax Poetics and The Fader, his investigative work has been highlighted in the New Yorker. Thayer’s liner notes have been featured on dozens of releases for notable record labels such as Light in the Attic, BBE, and Luaka Bop. He DJs under the name "The Ambassador" around his hometown of Portland, OR as well as nationally, and you can catch him on his weekly radio show “The Brazilian Beat” on KMHD Jazz Radio 89.1 FM/KMHD.org, Saturdays 9-11am PST.
