Rádio Verdes Mares, the Fortaleza broadcaster nicknamed Verdinha, has used this time and score signal in its football coverage for many years, though the exact debut date is not documented. The 'canhonaço' cannon boom at its climax was created by Rádio Globo and later adopted by Verdinha, most likely during the 1970s or 1980s according to the uploader's research. The clip circulating online was taken from Verdinha's own Facebook page and cleaned up with the MVSep audio tool, which is why this crisp eleven-second version survives as the reference copy fans share today.
About this sound
The time and score signal of Rádio Verdes Mares in Fortaleza, Brazil, with the 'canhonaço' cannon blast. Football fans use it in match-day edits and memes.
This is the unmistakable time and score sting from Rádio Verdes Mares, the Fortaleza station everybody calls Verdinha. It opens with a bright, brassy station jingle announcing the match clock and the scoreline, then lands on the legendary 'canhonaço' — a deep, booming cannon blast borrowed from Rádio Globo's sports coverage. The contrast between the cheerful fanfare and the thunderous boom is what makes it stick: in eleven seconds it compresses the whole drama of a live football broadcast into a single punchy cue that instantly tells any Brazilian listener that something big just happened on the pitch.
