TRAVELER'S COLLECTION

Cameroonian bassist Richard Bona has long been regarded as a peerless virtuoso of the electric four-stringed instrument. He is an enchanting singer-songwriter with a heavenly voice, as well as a formidable bandleader with an engaging stage presence and a knack for entertaining audiences all over the world.

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.
