American and Brazilian musicians have been finding common ground ever since jazz artists turned to bossa nova 50 years ago. But the result has never sounded quite like this. Listen to the Banning Eyre review on NPR right here.   (August, 2008) 

"The resulting sound is creative and flawless, a new multi-cultural energy that sounds like it had been bottled up and ready to explode for ages. Luckily, Nation Beat has finally popped the cork on this perfect combination.....Nation Beat's cross-pollination of music is nothing short of groundbreaking." - Liz Pelly, CMJ (8/6/08)
