Brazilian And Latin Sounds Romance Brooklyn's Pete's Candy Store On Sept. 14th

September 14th promises to be an exotic adventure at Brooklyn's Pete's Candy Store when singer/songwriter Maya Solovey hits the stage to take the audience on a journey to the land of Saudade, the theme for the evening. Be prepared for a night of reminiscence, love and passion as you let your thoughts go and flow while Solovey romances you with Brazilian and Latin music. To complete the experience, Solovey is bringing arepas and plantains to seduce your sense of taste prior to the performance, while you pamper yourself with the purchase of your favorite drink from the bar.

"The theme for the night -- Saudade -- is something I've always wanted to do," Solovey said. There's not usually enough time in a normal night for me to play all of my songs in Portuguese and Spanish, and my hope is that this will allow a new kind of fluidity to the evening. It's a different thing when you listen to music in a language you don't understand, because then, you listen to what the voice is saying. "Saudade" is one of the most important themes to Brazilian music and culture, and while it is said to be indescribable, the closest description is "the love that stays" when someone goes away. With this music and with this entire night, I hope to carry that theme in a way that envelops and enraptures the heart, as well as the senses."

Solovey will perform at 10:00 p.m.
Pete's Candy Store

Tom Moon, on air critic for NPR, and journalist for Rolling Stone and Spin Magazine said, "Here's a rarity: An original voice who really is original!

Broken Cadillac is less likely to be lumped into any particular style of music, and is more likely to be seen as a quality CD from beginning to end, by a band that is being set up successes all over the world. "The band has great songs" says Don Lichterman, the head of Sunset Records, and "the response to the song and the marketing stats for the song are through the roof," collaborating as teens, the four (4) piece band is made up with Justin McKee (Vocals), Steve Hatmaker (Guitar), Lonnie Hammer (Drums) and Alan Doty (Bass).

H-II: Cancer - Faith In A Time Of Trouble

The exam is completed, cancer suspected, biopsy taken and the lab results come back positive, the next step is CAT/PET scans to grade the spread. You arrive at the hospital, the markers are injected, you drink a quart of barium and have an hour wait for the CAT scans and related diagnostic tests. The experience is surreal and brings back into focus years of interfaith studies and the scripture verses begin to replay:

"I will never leave you or forsake you"
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths."
"Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength."

CMA Artist H-II: Stephen Michael Apatow reflects upon "Faith in a Time of Trouble" in the soundtrack "Day by Day," with streaming available on AirPlay Direct:

Robert Lauri's Musical Worlds Bring Out All Our Emotions

Robert Lauri is making waves with these new songs in his video clips. A creative and sensitive artist, and a visionary melody writer, he leads each of us to discover the full range of his creative energy.

His music blends many types of sounds that all come together in a thumping mix of pop, country, ethereal beats and movie music. It's almost impossible to pin Robert Lauri down to any particular genre because his music spans such a broad range of sounds, rhythms and melodies. Nevertheless, his music does have one common thread throughout – it conveys emotion and sensitivity.

Today we are presenting a small sample: the clips of his "country" world in pure Robert Lauri style. "Someday", an instrumental version, "Daydream" and "Wanted" transport us to an original Western world. "Someday" and "Away from you" take us to a world of Americana-country with a catchy rhythm.

Let's dive into a completely different world with the clip "Peace". Here Robert performs a unique piece of music that captivates us with its powerful emotional force. This is another example of an experienced composer who knows how to create a melody and to intertwine it with variations and nuances throughout, while never losing sight of the harmony.

Robert Lauri has such a large collection of music that we invite you to listen to the different programs on his radio station. "Robert Lauri on the Air," on Live365. The station offers so many different types of music. It's like browsing the world and its culture. Robert has also written for other artists and we just might see an unpublished collection of songs. His biography, "Spotlight on Robert Lauri" written by Linda Adnil-Vranken, also provides a deeper insight into his musical career and motivation.

The clips were created by Anna Clara Passarelli, the talented Italian artist. As a child, Anna always had a penchant for graphic art and art in general. She continued on this path, obtaining her degree at the Academy of Fine Arts. She is also a master of dance with several specialty areas. Movie and dance are her passion. This is the first time she has produced clips for other artists, creating worlds of images in perfect harmony with the music of Robert Lauri and also Diane Marino, a great jazz artist who deserves to be presented to a broad European audience. (The clip "On The Streets Where You Live" by Diane Marino can be seen on the international video sites.) Website Diane Marino : www.dianemarino.com

So, there you have it. Let's start by discovering music that is rich in emotion and diversity by treating you to the Robert Lauri video clips on his YouTube and Vimeo sites.

Hip Hop Artist Tyrant Ghostrida To Release Debut Album "Where Florida Begins" Early 2011

Hip Hop Artist Tyrant Ghostrida announced today that he will release his debut album "Where Florida Begins" in early 2011. He has already recorded seven songs, and is producing the album himself. The completed album is expected to have 25 tracks, and will be available for purchase at major online retailers.

Describing "Where Florida Begins" he said, "There are a lot of hip hop artists out there today, and it takes a lot to distinguish yourself from the rest. I'm able to do that because I possess the ability to do a vividly distinctive word play. It's just not the same sound that most other artists are putting out there and that people hear every day when they listen to hip hop. My music addresses issues that are common to everybody, and they will be able to relate to it.

Born Trenton Brooks in Jacksonville, Florida in 1983, Tyrant Ghostrida became interested in music at an early age as his elder brother Shadarrian was a member of the rap group Trespass. One day, while listening to them rehearse, they pulled him into a freestyle session with them and were amazed at the results. Brooks warmed the audience up for them for every performance from that point on. In 1997, he began his own quest to take making music much more seriously.

The year 2000 was a good one for the young artist as he did a recording called "Duval's Illest" which was produced by family member John Lumpkin, now a locally famed jazz percussionist. In 2001, he participated in the Terry Parker Senior High School talent show, where many more people began to take notice of him as a rapper. After graduation in 2002, he began to record more at home using Magix, Cool Edit Pro, and Fruity Loops.

He began receiving attention from small management groups within Jacksonville, but shortly thereafter, the crunk scene exploded and the interest gravitated in that direction. So, in 2004, he moved to Morganton, North Carolina and collaborated with the rapper Nappy on the song "904 To 828" which was popular in local night clubs. After moving back to Jacksonville in 2005, he made two songs "In Case You Forgot" featuring Young Menace, Lex Ruger and himself, and "Playboy Freestyle" which was a freestyle rap over New York hip hop artist Lloyd Bank's (now a part of G-Unit) song "Playboy" for the mix tape "The Village Mixtape" which was hosted by Young Menace. From there, Brooks started to work on an album entitled "The Reason Every Nigga Tries," but put the project on hold to enlist in the U.S. Navy in 2007. Currently serving until 2013 in Camp Pendleton, California, he is continuing to pursue both his music and naval career.

"I like making music because it's a way of allowing people to understand me better. It was introduced to me at a young age and it's something that I can do well enough to make it a career and express my creative side."

Brooks musical influences cross several music genres and include Stevie Wonder, Outkast, Little Brother, J. Cole, Scarface, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Dwele, Floetry, and Musiq Soulchild.
