Recent demographic estimates suggest approximately 6,500 Brazilian residents in the state of Colorado. Within Brazilian diasporic communities in Colorado, many people engage actively in Brazilian social networks and transnational media to learn about cultural events and services and to create ties with other Brazilians. Some members of this diaspora have been especially active in promoting Brazilian cultural events along Colorado’s Front Range. Scholarship on Brazilians in the United States has focused largely on major metropolitan areas and coastal states. Consequently, the musical lives and community-building practices of Brazilians in the Mountain West have remained underexplored. I argue that, in many of these events, Brazilian music functions as a key medium for building ties and negotiating belonging in the United States. This paper investigates how Brazilian migrants in Colorado integrate Brazilian events into their daily lives and what functions this integration serves, as well as how these events become sites for experiencing and expressing saudade. It also traces the history of Brazilian communities along Colorado’s Front Range through Brazilian cultural organizations and their events. I treat saudade as a lens for understanding how these migrants negotiate community, belonging, and identity in Colorado. Focusing on the northern and central areas of Colorado’s Front Range, particularly Denver and Boulder, I examine Brazilian pop-up markets with live music, Carnival celebrations, and Brazilian music shows at the St. Julien Hotel through participant observation, interviews, and media analysis of social media, websites, and promotional materials from Brazilian cultural organizations in Colorado.
