A few months ago while performing in the New York area, I encountered an interesting challenge as I tried to explain Brazilian Popular Music to non-Brazilians. Every time I casually introduced myself as a composer of Brazilian Popular Music, I was faced with a blank look and the question, "What exactly is Brazilian Popular Music?".

You should not be surprise about lot’s of people in New York Don’t know what MPB is. I lived in the USA for 12 years and back to my land in 2004. I invite few of my co-workers to see a Brazilian summer festival (Samba, Capoeira, dancers) they loved the shown. The following year again I ask then if they want to see a Brazilian Jazz night at Hollywood Bowl, they was very surprised and ask me, Brazil have a Jazz too. Not to be shock with so many people in your country don’t have much Culture. Good luck to you in your new CD, I will try to find or order one.
