From The Label: As the 2004 Detroit Music Awards winner in the “Outstanding World Recording” category, this quartet - Brazil and Beyond - plays Brazilian, American pop, and Beatles standards in the classic styles of Brazil on Brazilian instruments. As to instrumentation, Rich plays his authentic Brazilian cavaquinho on "Day Tripper" and "This Boy," while João Bergasse, president of the Brazilian Cultural Club of Detroit, lends voiceovers to "I Want You (She's So Heavy)." Quite possibly a "first" on any continent, world percussionist Dennis Sheridan hammers out the melody of "Come Together" on his berimbau-normally a rhythm instrument. The resulting CD is an exciting tapestry of the enchantment of the Brazilian sound laid over the magic of some of the best Beatles melodies. It's an unbeatable work of art.
