It’s never a dull moment here in Sao Paulo. Lot’s of traffic, confusion and complicated situations… but amidst it all is a real sense of excitement and inspiration that is reflected in the music, food and culture. Just last night we went to a small club where the band was playing traditional choro music and we ate a delicious local dish of pumpkin and dried meat… Muito bom!

It’s great to be back in Brazil this month! We’re spending our weekdays in São Paulo and weekends at Gargolandia (www.gargolandia.com.br) one of the best recording studios in the world. It’s been especially nice to catch up with old friends and family here and just absorb as much music as possible…
