Leo Middea – Noticias de Puglia [Agogo Records]
“Noticias de Puglia” is the sixth album from Guitarist Leo Middea. The album serves as a postcard to showcase Brazilian music worldwide. The album is a blissful listen ranging from mellow tunes to energetic rhythms. “Bloco pra Tristeza” opens with a splash of warm trombone melodies and simmering percussion. Middea creates a soothing palette for a divine chorus section. “Passarela” showcases his soothing vocals layered over gentle rhodes and horns. Middea has lived in Europe for the past nine years. You can take the man out of Brazil but you can’t remove Brazil from the man. Twelve engaging tracks is evidence of that.

Pedro Ricardo & Damián Botigué – Un Nuevo Amanecer [Canela En Surco]
“Un Nuevo Amanecer” is the debut of Pedro Ricardo and Damian Botigue (aka Karmasound). The title speaks to the journey between two worlds. Ricardo is from Portugal while Botigue is from Argentina. Out on the Barcelona label Canela En Succo, the seven track lp is striped down Latin jazz aligned with fusion and folk harmonies. The title track is a simmering blend of warm guitar rhythms and vocal harmonies layered over wobbly electric piano riffs. “Atlantico” heats up the mood with sunny chords and percolating percussion. “Mar de Fora” brims with a bossa nova groove along with subtle guitar licks from Luis Tanez. Label boss Breixo MArtinez add soft vocal harmonies alluding to the Galician beach of Mar de Fora. You don’t have to be near the Galician beach to enjoy this record. Just find yourself a quiet place and let this lp sink into your body. You won’t regret it.
