Melech Mechaya - The Portoguese way to Klezmer
*«This band exists out of five outstanding musicinas and mixes the tradition of Klezmer and Yiddish music from several (European) regions mixed with an occasional Arabic or Balkan vibe and also some Portuguese traditional influences now and then. They can be party animals but also play more melancholic. A nice album, well played and really catchy.

Tenores di Bitti - in DVD!!
This DVD, Ancestral Voices, is dedicated to the group that made history in this fascinating field of male polyphony.
There are few literary works that address this topic, but it certainly lacked a film that would document extensively this age-old vocal style. This is the first product of its kind on the market and it fills a void difficult to explain.
Gundecha Brothers
New CD by one of the most important ensemble of Dhrupad singing in North India.
«Ragas are soliloquies and meditations, passionate melodies that draw circles and triangles in a mental space, a geometry of sounds that can turn a room into a fountain, a spring, a pool.» (Octavio Paz)
Arturo Stalteri
New CD from Arturo Stàlteri with a repertoire that goes from the European Classical tradition to Rock songs arranged for solo piano, to his own compositions. An ideal sequel of the fortunate Flowers released in 1995.
