Journalist Mylena Ciribelli joins Massa FM as Brazil’s largest popular radio network celebrates 20 years with a special event in Curitiba.
On Friday, March 27, Massa FM turned Curitiba into a stage for celebration. The broadcaster marked 20 years on air with a full-day program featuring talks, a tribute to founder Carlos Massa — widely known as Ratinho — and stories from those who built popular radio in Brazil.
The milestone also came with a major announcement. Veteran journalist Mylena Ciribelli, recognized for her distinctive voice and long career in Brazilian broadcasting, is joining the Massa FM team. Starting in May, she will lead “Mundial Massa”, the station’s dedicated coverage of the FIFA World Cup.
A return to roots
For Mylena, attending the 20th anniversary celebration was deeply personal. Watching fellow broadcasters speak passionately about radio took her back to the early days of her own career.
“Seeing these professionals speak with such passion took me back to my past, to the beginning of my career. I felt enchanted, but also like I was learning all over again — because radio has changed, not just in human terms, but technologically. Everything is very different.” — Mylena Ciribelli, journalist
Industry leaders on the panel
Mylena took part in the event’s opening panel, “Radio in Motion: Connection and Passion,” alongside leading figures from Brazilian broadcasting:
- André Luy, Director of Network and Expansion at Massa FM
- Daniel Starck, CEO of Tudo Rádio
- Wilson Gomes, Artistic Director of Rede Massa
Rede Massa is currently the largest popular radio network in Brazil, with 92 affiliated stations across the country — a scale that puts the anniversary celebration in its full context.
