1. Ojos De Brujo - Techari Live

Ojos de Brujo had a big hit with 2007's Techari; they took the show on the road and now offer fans of flamenco-fusion a chance to see their live Barcelona concert from December 2006.

2. Cyro Baptista - Banquet of the Spirits

Brazilian percussionist Cyro Baptista is a tour de force in the Brazilian music world. He's been involved with all kinds of music from jazz to pop. His 2004 Beat The Donkey introduced a project of the marriage between Brazilian rhythms, percussion and dance. Now, Baptista brings us Banquet of the Spirits performed by a new quartet and offering music that "eats, swallows & digests" Brazilian cultural musical tendencies. Should be interesting.
