Contexto:
A união das culturas indígena e nordestina não termina na cozinha, estende-se até outros campos, como da música. O forró ganhou uma nova roupagem, sofrendo influência também de bandas da Venezuela e Guiana, captadas através do rádio. A proximidade com a Venezuela e a Guiana dá a Boa Vista aeroporto e rodoviária internacionais.
Thank you,

Akon Promises New Sound On Upcoming Album
Akon recently spoke about his new album, Freedom, and let fans know they should expect a new sound from him.

"...sofrendo influencia", a meu ver, soa "negativo" eu nao utilizaria o termo "sofrendo".
"Recebendo" / "tendo", etc. acompanharia melhor o positivismo do contexto.
