TRAVELER'S COLLECTION

For her debut recording, vocalist Magos Herrera, who was born in Mexico City and honed her craft in Italy and New York City, sings lyrics mostly in Portuguese and Spanish. She is at times a dream weaver, a sensual partner and a languid lover, able to understand how to bridge the distance emotionally between the now and the never to be.

Eco-Brazil Corp./Echo-the-World was conceived to lend support to artisans in Brazil, acting as a bridge to the international market. The company now works with craftspeople in other countries, encouraging the use of ecologically friendly materials and assisting in product selections that will bring a market price that sufficiently compensates the artist. Eco-Brazil Corp./Echo-the-World believes music is a wonderful entrée into a culture and the perfect way to get the “feeling” of another country, so it also distributes about 500 titles of African and African Diaspora music, selecting the best CDs in the genre.
