Hi,

I came across this free Podcast and really like it. It's called " Miscelânea Vanguardiosa Podcast"

A guy named Ricardo Sá Reston puts it together in both English and Portuguese, so you can listen to either version.

In each broadcast he briefly discusses a new CD, talks about the players, styles, and significance of the recording, then plays some great Brazilian instrumental music.

This is a link (http://www.miscvanguard.blogspot.com/)to the English language version.

Here's (http://www.miscelaneavanguardiosa.com/audio/25e.m3u)a link to a recent Podcast featuring "New Choros of Brazil."

Miscelânea 25 - New Choros of Brazil

On the week of our monthly CD recommendation show, we'll listen to Harvey Wainapel and Paulo Bellinati's New Choros of Brazil, a beautiful and delicate collection of Brazil's modern choro compositions and composers.

1-Aos Amigos do Trio (Sérgio Santos)
2-Choro do Adeus (Nelson Ayres)
3-O Cabo Pitanga (Laércio de Freitas)
4-Simpática (Ricardo Peixoto/Claudio Villela)
5-Pra Quem Quiser me Visitar (Guinga/Aldir Blanc)
6-Seu Laércio na Cozinha (Harvey Wainapel)

Ricardo is also a really nice guy, and loves to hear from people about the show. I mentioned Choro and mandolin to him and he told me this:

Let me know when you come to Brazil, in Rio we have the Choro School, maybe you could get some classes there, you would meet a lot of Choro players and masters around there... And they offer some vacation courses really cheap, so I think you'd be interested if coming to Brazil. Hamilton has done a lot of workshops there, and the teachers are all big names of todays Choro in Brazil. If it interests you, here's the page: http://www.escolaportatil.com.br/ no English version, but it may help...


If you check out the Podcast and like it send him an email to let him know. He's doing this as a labor of love.

Hi,

The links work for me. I tried both at home and work, with Ie and Firefox.

If you're having trouble with the page you can also go to iTunes music store and search for "choro". This show is the only one that comes up in "podcasts." From there just subscribe as you would normally.

I'm glad you were able to get to the podcast. It's great.

There aren't a lot of past episodes available in English (4 or 5), but you can download about 30 from the Portuguese page.

It will be nice to hear fresh music from Brasil as new shows come out. Ricardo mentioned that he is working on another Choro episode:

It's great to know you play mandolin and like Choro, there's a show (Miscelânea 09 - Choro Moderno, mas nem tanto) - avaible only at the portuguese page, that has many beautiful choros with modern arrengements, have you listened to it? You may not understand the words, but I'm sure you'll love the music!! Oh, and please forgive me for my english, I'm really working to get it better... Any information you need about Choro or brazilian music in general, please tell me and I'll do my best to help you, ok? And stay tuned for more Choro selections soon on MVP, I'm working on a really nice one...
