After my fit of homesickness for Rio yesterday, my poet/blogger friend Kavita suggested I post one of my Brazilian songs. So here is my “Siga em Frente”. The title is Portuguese for “Go Straight Ahead,” and it’s something you hear alot when asking for directions. I wrote it for my Rio taxi driver, who is also a friend and a musician. This recording is from my most recent CD, “Meu Bandolim,” (My Mandolin), recorded w/ my Brazilian musical friends. I’m playing bandolim, and my friends are playing sax, 7-string guitar, and percussion. Enjoy!
Siga Em Frente
it has got a fun enchanting rhythm to it…rather whimsical…thanks for sharing it…

glad you like the music– thanks for giving me the idea. I’ve been keeping this blog apart from my “professional” life, but music is who I am so it’s good to bring it in.
