Brazilian Carnaval

This year I had the amazing good fortune to spend Carnaval week in the northern city of Recife, and witnessed a far more community-based Carnaval than the highly commercial versions in Rio and Sao Paulo. To help you imagine what music and dance throughout the city is like I put together these tracks. Use them to warm up your next house party.

Motorcycle Diaries

After recently renting the film, Motorcycle Diaries, making this playlist based on music they would have heard on their travels through Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela was impossible to resist. The film follows two friends, Ernesto "Che" Guevara and Alberto Granado who hop on the back of a beat-up motorcycle for a breathtaking trip across Latin America -- retracing the origins of Che's revolutionary spirit. "Let the world change you... and you can change the world..." -- Che Guevera This quote was the film's main theme and provides a good perspective on any of us would-be world changers -- that we need to experience the world and be changed by our experience before we can create positive change...
