 September 1, 2007 | Grammy Nod for Hamilton de Holanda
Special congratulations to our friend Hamilton de Holanda for his recent Latin Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Album, Adventure Music label, "Brasilianos" which was released in the summer of 2006. It is the the 32 year-old Brazilian mandolin genius's first running for the prestigious award.
Quoted in All About Jazz, "I am thrilled to be nominated," said De Holanda, speaking from Rio."It is a personal honor and it also acknowledges the new generation of young virtuoso musicians who are mixing the best Brazilian spices into a universal musical pot," he continued. "Maybe the best way to define what we are all doing is 'modern is tradition,' since we strive to remain true to the many artists who have inspired us, such as Hermeto Pascoal, Egberto Gismonti, Baden Powell, Pixinguinha, and Villa Lobos."
