| 49 | Centrifuge of Sound | Acoustic Double-Neck Guitarist Ian Ethan began a journey into truly uncharted territory when he picked up this seldom-seen 18-string instrument in 2005, two years after leaving the Berklee College of Music. While most who venture to play the instrument are either baffled by or unaware of the possibilities that it offers (its history seems to peg it as more of a grandiose stage prop than a valid musical tool), for him it is simply "the most effective and intuitive means I've found to translate into sound the things I'm hearing in my head." Drawing on a diverse musical background that saw him learning piano, drums, saxophone, electric guitar and bass beginning at the age of five, Ian Ethan's strikingly-unconventional, self-invented approach to the double-neck guitar is both magical to hear and mesmerizing to watch. And while his performances are visually intriguing to say the least, it is not showmanship but rather the sincere desire to accurately communicate the harmonically rich, multi | Ian Ethan Case/Double Necked-Guitar | Ian Ethan Case | Show Link |

| 52 | Choro Negro | The musicians of Trio Por Do Sol are modern practitioners of a tradition that's about 140 years old but continues to be re-defined. At its very core, Choro is a hybrid style, with roots in Europe and Africa. Brazil claims Choro as its first own urban music (from Rio). It's also very important to Brazilian identity, which is profoundly multi-racial. Currently, choro is practiced along a continuum of tradition and modernity, and the music has been blended with jazz and bluegrass and klezmer and even baroque music. In most contexts, it is a vehicle for improvisation, although the expectations are somewhat different than in jazz. We have a repertoire that mixes old and new choro compositions; we create our own arrangements and improvise around these forms. Fresh and fascinating music.

| 62 | Dance from Mozambique | Albino Mbie was born in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, a country in southern Africa known for its rich musical and cultural heritage. Fueled by the resourcefulness and determination that have always characterized Mozambicans, he built his first guitar at 16 from a 5-liter can of oil, scrap wood, and strings made out of electrical cords. As with his home-made guitar, Albino wanted to combine styles and incorporate diverse elements in his music. Today, Albino’s music succeeds in combining many disparate parts into an organic whole.

| 189 | Sunshine Trio | The musicians of Trio Por Do Sol are modern practitioners of a tradition that's about 140 years old but continues to be re-defined. At its very core, Choro is a hybrid style, with roots in Europe and Africa. Brazil claims Choro as its first own urban music (from Rio). It's also very important to Brazilian identity, which is profoundly multi-racial. Currently, choro is practiced along a continuum of tradition and modernity, and the music has been blended with jazz and bluegrass and klezmer and even baroque music. In most contexts, it is a vehicle for improvisation, although the expectations are somewhat different than in jazz. We have a repertoire that mixes old and new choro compositions; we create our own arrangements and improvise around these forms. Fresh and fascinating music.
