Cultural Tip
In Brazil and Portugal, ‘gostar de’ is the most common way to talk about personal tastes. For a slightly more formal or refined tone you can replace ‘gosto de’ with ‘aprecio’. Classical music enjoys a loyal audience, especially in concert halls and cultural festivals, but it is often mentioned alongside popular genres like MPB, fado, or sertanejo.
