What's New
Welcome! We've added a new Brazilian album to our New Releases section. It's Carol Saboya's Outro Tom: Canções de Antonio Adolfo. We have complete information plus a sample track to give you a taste of her music. That section now features 191 Brazilian music albums, all with sample tracks. Recent additions include Enrico Granafei's It's Hard to Say Goodbye with special guests Claudio Roditi and Mike Longo; Livio Almeida's Brasília Sessions; Paula Maya's Rio de Janeiro; and Antonio Adolfo's Love Cole Porter. The latest addition to our Beyond Brazil section is Maria Schafer's Here for You. We have all the details and a sample track. That section features 295 albums we recommend from the world of music beyond Brazil, nearly all with sample tracks. Other recent additions include Pony Boy All-Star Big Band's This is Now; Gino Amato's Latin Crossroads; Hyeseon Hong Jazz Orchestra's Things Will Pass; and Alexis Cole and the Taipei Jazz Orchestra's Jazz Republic: Taiwan, the United States, and the Freedom of Swing. Our 31-minute feature on Felipe Salles' South American Suite is the latest addition to our Audio Archives section. It was originally broadcast May 7, 2008. When you visit the Archives, you can listen to extended features on 218 Brazilian albums, features on 38 Beyond Brazil albums, interviews, tributes to musicians and composers, and much more.
