Highlights

Carminho + Chico Buarque – “Carolina”

Carminho + Chico Buarque – “Carolina”

Hailing from different generations and countries but with a very strong Transatlantic and cultural connection, Carminho and Chico Buarque sing a sublime duet. “Carolina”, which can be heard on the Portugal channel, is part of the new album Alma, the Portuguese artist’s second outing, which features guests like Milton Nascimento and Nana Caymmi. The first voice we hear on this song belongs to the Rio musician (who we can hear solo on the Biscoito Fino channel) and there is a fine mix of acoustic and Portuguese guitar.

 

 

 

 

David Bowie

David Bowie – “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)”

Boasting a career lasting over 40 years, one thing is sure: Bowie has undoubtedly made the biggest comeback of 2013. The Next Day is his 26th album and comes ten years after Reality. Some say that it’s his finest work since Lodger – the last record of the Berlin trilogy, which he made with Brian Eno. Proof of the pudding is, “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)”, which can be heard on the Rock Channel. After the unexpected first single, “Where Are We Now?”, which got its worldwide release on the English singer’s 66th birthday, his newest work became the fastest selling record of the year.
