another ‘Seven 7 inches’ compilation. Check out

Juan Mercado, Manuel Caraballo and others.

Hello Groovers around the Globe, at the 6th of May we celebrate
our 5th anniversary already. Time sure flies. Unfortunately we are
not yet in the opportunity to launch the new and independent GG,
other work ( the one that keeps things running ) keeps coming in
between. Ready or not, that can’t spoil the fun. People ask me why
I don’t make Global Samplers anymore. It’s not I don’t want to but
they were made for a reason. They are meant to show you the way
around the blog and provide you with tips, but now most of our links
are dead, so where do they send you ? Nowhere yet ! Mediafire had
thrown out the last two samplers, vols. 38 & 39, let’s bring them
back to start with and as an anniversary special I made us volume
40. We are really making progress behind the scenes and
soon you’ll be able to access all the old posts again at
the new and improved page, it is a promise ! For now,
download these three Samplers and listen,
I drink to a long and healthy future
of sharing my favourite music
with you, cheers folks,
get it & spread it !

For those who like to listen to laid back Brazilian music
from the sixties and seventies, I made us this compilation.
Before you start commenting, let me be the first to say;
You’re right, this is not only bossa nova. This comp also
contains some samba, chorinho and MPB for instance. I just
picked a nice cover from the pile of Loronix material, after
all, it was made under the spell of Zecalouro who taught us
so much about this wonderful almost forgotten music.
Consider it another tribute to Loronix and Zeca,
Hope U like..
