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, it’s part one of a two-part series on the remarkable contributions made by American instrumentalists to the Bossa Nova movement. I’ll share my insight and stories about these stellar musicians, and a few of their names might surprise you!
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
