Various Artists - Mi Nombre Ex Mexico - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Joly Braga Santos (1924-88) was one of the most important composers in twentieth-century Portugal. In his early works his fondness for modal harmony, absorbed from the Portuguese masters of the Renaissance, and his busy counterpoint combine to make him sound surprisingly close to such particularly English composers as Vaughan Williams and Moeran. Although his harmonic language became more astringent with time, it retained a burly sense of humor and a powerful charge of energy, often infused with the spirit of Portuguese folk-dance.

With Summer around the corner, ARC Music has taken one of their strongest selling genres and compiled an album especially designed to appeal to summer lovers with music sourced from the most popular vacation destination on Earth- The Caribbean. This features music from Trinidad, Martinique, Costa Rica, and more. The islands that make up the Caribbean archipelago are among the most beautiful in the world, sharing many similarities between them, but each with a character and charm all of their own. Much like the islands themselves, there is a familiar uniqueness about the music of the Caribbean. Many Afro-Caribbean styles are instantly distinguishable from each other but share a rhythmic palette and boast a style that is undeniably Caribbean. Authentic Caribbean performers are featured, including Rafael & Energia Dominicana, Mandigo y su Son, King Selewa & His Calypsonians Calypso Invasion, Pablo Carcamo, and many more. In the words of a reviewer, InchIf you've been there, it takes you back. If you've never been, you'll want to go.Inch
