Welcome!
Hello! My name is George Klabin. I grew up as a teen in São Paulo, Brasil at the birth of Bossa Nova, which led to my lifelong love affair with this music.
As a recording studio owner and engineer, and founder of a Grammy-winning record label, I’m opening my personal journal to share my musical adventures with you.
These are my stories. This is the music!
This week, we’ll explore the music of Flora Purim and Airto Moreira, including a pair of world premiers from my personal collection of unreleased recordings. Plus I’ll feature my choices for three talented Brazilian pianists, Helio Alves, Eliane Elias and Marcos Resende.
Sundays are meant for relaxing, so listen this Sunday at noon Central for Heart of Brasil exclusively on Connect Brazil’s streaming station.
Thanks for listening,
George Klabin
