The recently-released sophomore album Tempestuoso (Lulaworld Records), from Toronto group Tio Chorinho, is 10 tracks of new and classic Brazilian choro music, bursting with spirit and soul, and featuring a tour de force appearance by powerhouse vocalist Flavia Nascimento.

Coming from the Moroccan desert, the smell of the souk impregnated in their sandy clothes, Abdul & The Gang unleash irrepressible Beldi rhythms and unbreathable Funk grooves. The Roland E-40 Oriental synthesizer and its 1/4 tone as a weapon of choice, it is with an injunction to dance that the Gang steals the dance-floor. Deep in the groove, like a trance that slowly releases its power, a heritage from the desert.

A fountain of musical youth

The Rolling Stones have made a record you’ll want to play more than once — seriously. They haven't sounded this on top of their game in about half a century. The first Stones album in ages you’ll want to crank more than once before filing away.
