“Reissued 1997 compilation. This is the sound of Italy. Forty tracks of the best Italian pop from the Sixties and Seventies are packed in this lively 2CD set which includes many of the legendary Italian artists such as Adriano Celentano, Umberto Tozzi, Raffaella Carra and Patty Pravo. Some of the most memorable highlights of their hugely popular output is featured on this sun drenched, fun packed collection of ballads, novelties, dance hits and the kind of sing along anthems that the Italians provided for our delight during the last decades of the 20th century.

“Hot, sassy, mellow, and what a way for a newcomer to latin jazz to be introduced. The music on this CD cannot help but bring you up no matter what your mood is. „Carcara“ rocks one can't help but to shake your shoulders and move your feet and „Up from the sea it rose“ will make think of hot latin tropical nights. Its all good real good a must for anyone new to latin jazz.

Bossa Nova & Samba: Gold Collection (2000)
MP3 192 Kbps | 66 + 67 min | 184 Mb @ rapidshare.com

“Bossa Nova Gold is an excellent compilation double CD of various wizards of Bossa Nova. It contains songs usually left off of other compilations and includes many of my favorite artists and their songs, like Gal Costa's smooth Bem Bom and Baden Powell and Caetano. But you will be disappointed if you uexpect to hear Elis Regina or Leila Pinheiro… The styles are everything from Bossa Nova, Samba, Tropicalismo and MPB - what is neat about this CD is that you can get a vivid sense of the many different styles of music in Brasil and how the music in Brasil sort of is like a spider web, from one sound leading into the other and etc. Featured artists are Caetano Veloso, Ivan Lins, Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim with Miucha, Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Milton Nascimento, Baden Powell, Maria Bethania, Gal Costa, Joyce, Edu Lobo and many many more.

Bossa Nova Brasil (1992)
MP3 192 Kbps | 67 min | 93 Mb @ rapidshare.com

“This great introduction to Bossa Nova couldn't be a better value-for-money. Sampling from each of the major trends in the genre, _Bossa Nova Brasil_ will turn the mildest curiosity in the rhythms into a genuine interest. This is great I-just-got-off-work-and-I've-got-a-date-in-an-hour music. Put it on in your car to unwind and enjoy the ride. Or throw open your windows on a spring day and celebrate the change of seasons. Or share it with someone you love to dance embarrassingly unwell with. Whatever you do, though, give bossa nova a try, and trust that this collection will be an excellent way to start.

Brazil Now (1998)
MP3 128 Kbps | 55 min | 52 Mb @ rapidshare.com

“A nice, varying mix of more current songs - as if you have turned on a radio in Rio de Janeiro and changed from station to station (to an extent). But better mixtures exist and I would recommend buying original albums by the featured artists… A good selection of current trends in the music scene of Brasil. Good for all ages that enjoy the variety and versatility of good music from the big country in South America.
