“I’m sorry to say that I haven’t been quite the tour correspondent that I should be, but I’ve been busy playing music and seeing Brazil. A couple of days ago, I did a recording session with Fernando Nunes, a great player, writer, producer, and arranger here in Brazil. There was a band rehearsing in the same studio. Barrett Martin and I wandered down to watch them. Great band! They are called Tijauana, and they play a crazy mix of ska, heavy rock, reggae and Brazilian folk. Totally great! Or as we say here in Brazil: legal! Their records are up on the streaming platforms, so give them a listen! Or catch them on tour. Off to bus across Brazil in a couple of hours. Wish me luck!”
