Castro appreciates the tastes of young people in Brazil in the late ’40s, when the children of bossa nova were growing up. Frank Sinatra is indeed the subject of several jibes along the course of this story. Some of the founders of bossa nova, oddly enough, were members of Rio’s “Sinatra-Farney Fan Club,” born in 1949. Membership required a fanatical zeal for Frank Sinatra and Dick Farney, monetary dues, and the ability (at least in a relative sense) to play an instrument or sing. To these young people, Sinatra’s only flaw was that he was not Brazilian. Parenthetically, Castro remarks:
Those who are less than a hundred years old might not believe it, but Frank Sinatra was a sex symbol in those days. He was also so thin that when he walked around on stage with the microphone in his hand—he was one of the first singers to do this—he had to be careful not to disappear behind the cord. - History of Bossa Nova
Note: One of MdM favorite rhythm. We hope you like the mix, somewhere between original Bossa, a dab of samba, and plenty of modern mix cribbing Bossa. Perhaps its representative of what we like to do. Mix things to reach that mysterious center of music. The soul.

more side note about the mix. I think I was trying to create a “crisp” mix. That incredible phrasing of melody and lyrics that only bossa can brings out. It’s always grand. It always sway grandly on its own term. Never scream or straining. The songs are sometimes no more than whispery words but they are so memorable.
well. hope you enjoy this. It should work as a lunch list.
Hey! My grandfather is at the hospital and I wont be able to put up the link today… we used dropcash.com for the last funds but it seems the site went off… any ideas of a similar site we could use or should I only put a link to my paypal account :S? I enjoyed donators being able to see the money raise up :P
this is the only one I can find. but we need to make sure somebody used it before (I don’t know that site.)
http://www.donationmeter.org/
I really think we should just do simple paypal link and manually announce. a lot simpler and safer.
btw, how is your grandad?
Seriously loving this mellow selection. Perfect Sunday faffing about music :)
moka, the link is only image link.
anyway, to get the donate button, the account need to be premier or business. (see video below)

otherwise, just post link into your paypal account so people can go there and do “transfer” payment.
this blog is just AMAZING. you have such a great taste.
cheers from israel :)
I don’t know how to put a link to my paypal account :S I feel so dumb I’ve been looking for a link for hours and still can’t find it…
have you try this? (it’s wordpress that strip out code)
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/paypal-donate-really-easy-guide
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donate-intro-outside
also, I think wordpress “strip out” any java. see what is the code that is generated by paypal. try putting it in the sidebar, under that chatbox (sidebar doesn’t strip java/code)
otherwise, just put widget … lol. You like adding widget.

Phew! At last! Thanks for the link squashed. My settings on paypal were automatically set on Spanish and I couldn’t find the link because the translation from english to spanish is quite messy.
Alright I’ll keep updated every 8 hours or so on our progress. Or is 8 hours too much time? In case we reach the 200 before time I’ll leave a message and remove the donate links.
Right well $100 from me….if ya need more just ask :)
Dropped $50 right there in the open guitar box… can’t resist that red felt lining..
I can afford $15, you guys have been great!
heya guys.
first off, thank you for the donations.
But I don’t know what’s the status. I think Moka has to go to the hospital. So things will be a bit slow. At any rate. I think we have about enough. So if you think to have bigger than $20 donation. better hold it. Because probably we have to return the money or use it for next year.
If the collection go over by a little bit. Maybe we will have one or two of those little contest. (CD and such.)
but at any rate. thank you and wait a little until moka gets to her account to sort thing out. (yeah, this year fund raising is a bit messy.) :D
have a great weekend.
squashed
ps. I am trying to make another post.
Juju Orchestra track’s ace. Great modern Latin soul.
