"Thank
you for the wonderful tribute to Ivan Lins. I have long
admired his beautiful voice, and how beautifully you describe
his style as "so much passion and power, anguish and
beauty." Couldn't have described it better myself.
I try to describe him to the uninitiated as a kind of Brasilian
Paul McCartney, but he is actually SO much more. I just
wish one day he would come to perform for us in England.
Thanks for all your wonderful work in sharing the music
of Brasil with us. Kind regards,
- Liz Ashton, UK

This CD is filled to overflowing with a great selection
of songs to accompany the hit movie! Simply Red’s
Brazilian guitar master Heitor TP includes some
real gems here – more than enough to make this
a ‘two thumbs up’ stand out! With Baden
Powell, Dori Caymmi and Bossacuccanova!... [Soundtrack]

| With
a career peppered with cutting-edge experimentation,
Yaurete is a beautiful exception – superb
melodies, richly layered strings and Nascimento

Rita’s new CD is filled with previously
unrecorded Sambas from Brazil’s greatest
composers, and she invited as special guests
the ‘old guard’ Samba masters from
Mangueira to join in the celebration. A brilliant
tribute from one of Brazil’s rising stars....

only with voice, guitar and light percussion,
this CD is an intimate portrait of João
Gilberto, whose voice toys with nuance on
these 10 songs, including ‘Waters of
March’, ‘Undiú’ and
‘Izuara’ – a duet featuring
his second wife Miucha. Highly recommended!...
