What's New
Welcome! We've added a new Brazilian album to our New Releases section. It's Enrico Granafei's It's Hard to Say Goodbye with special guests Claudio Roditi and Mike Longo. We have all the details and a sample track to give you a taste of his music. That section now features 190 albums of Brazilian music, all with sample tracks. Recent additions include Livio Almeida's Brasília Sessions; Paula Maya's Rio de Janeiro; Antonio Adolfo's Love Cole Porter; and Vã Revelação by Bruna Black and composer John Finbury. The latest addition to our Beyond Brazil section is Maria Schafer's Here for You. We have complete information plus 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. Be sure to check out our Special Features section, below, to read our interview with Karrin Allyson on her new album, A Kiss for Brazil, and her special guest, Rosa Passos. 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. Thanks for stopping at this website. We hope you'll take a little time to explore our features, listen to some sample tracks, and dig into our archives (you can always return to this page by clicking on our logo at the top of every page).
