Thanks for following us for these past 17+ years, and if you’re a new follower, welcome to MB. Be sure to check what is available in the Sections menu. That pull-down menu gives you access to our archives, and you can also simply choose to use the search function in the upper right-hand corner. Remember that we alphabetize artists here in the Brazilian way: by first names.

Don’t forget that you can also listen to the music we review here. Most albums are available online. For your listening pleasure we have also created a few select podcasts as well as a Spotify playlist. You can find those in the Sounds tab.
