Pedro de Paz

"O Espírito Da Paz" is one of Madredeus' most beautiful albums. Delicate music and songs with the angelic, heart-touching voice of Teresa Salgueiro, backed by rich, powerful and at the same moment emotional arrangements for two acoustic guitars (José Peixoto & Pedro Ayres Magalhães), cello (Francisco Ribeiro), accordion (Gabriel Gomes) and keyboards (Rodrigo Leão). Included you will find a nice booklet with information and lyrics for all songs, in portuguese and english. Enjoy a small masterpiece.

"The Critical Edition, of the complete works of Astor Piazzolla recorded at RCA Victor and CBS Columbia, presented for the first time on CD, the essential records of the bandoneonist, restored to their original form with sound remastered directly from the original master tapes and including bonus tracks tracks issued at the time as singles and EP's, clarifying the recording dates and the musicians who participated. Each CD includes the original liner notes (when present) and the complete technical information, correcting errors present in numerous editions and specifying the precise recording dates and session personnel".

Simbiose combines two of Brazil’s most thoughtful young guitarists Pedro Martins (winner of the 2015 Montreal Jazz Festival Electric Guitar Competition) and Daniel Santiago for a release that confirms the tradition of Brazilian jazz guitar continues into a new generation. The two join forces in their unbridled creativity, expanding the language and literature of their instruments all while maintaining sensitivity to the distinct nature of being “Brasileiro”.

In this black comedy, master Mexican director Arturo Ripstein (The Holy Office, Deep Crimson) presents another of his trademark looks at the twin forces of absurdity and pathos. Based on a novel by Pedro Antonio Valdez, the film weaves five episodic tales centered around a decrepit Mexican brothel run by a Chinese immigrant, Chang (Samuel Gallegos), and protested nightly by a Christian group who hopes to shut it down. Among the cast of characters who populate this modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah are Chang's long-suffering wife, an eccentric stable of hookers, and an especially seedy roster of customers (including corrupt politicians and deranged priests), resulting in a carnivalesque tapestry of the human condition.
