A Voz do Brasil began in 1935 as the Programa Nacional under President Getúlio Vargas and took its current name in 1938. The hour-long federal programme has been carried by radio stations across Brazil on weekday evenings, reporting government actions and public information. Its opening announcement became one of the country's most familiar broadcast sounds, recognised even by people who rarely listen to the full show. Online, the intro survives separately as a meme cue for officialdom, shared in edits, remixes and nostalgic posts about Brazilian radio.
