Title: Changes
Artists: Aquarela (Philippines)
Price: Rp75,000 (excluding shipping fee)
Description: The romantic couple Miguel and Evelyn as Aquarela were back with the second album “Changes” in 2008. In this album they continued to express their love and passion for the bossa nova and samba, but here the word ‘originality’ appeared much stronger than before. They took a remarkable move to go on futher by making their own songs. More colors were added, from acoustic guitar, hypnotic percussion, smooth jazz groove to sax attack. There’s also songs written in French and Tagalog. A lot of changes were made without betraying their love and passion towards the lovely Brazilian music (with a little flamenco touch by the ‘el mariachi’ Miguel) and still appeared as beautiful as ever. Bossa nova, acoustic, smooth jazz lovers would love this album, also those who don’t care of the genre but love the ear-catchy, melodious tunes or even if you’re looking for an album as the accompaniment of your relaxing hours.

Title: Bossanova Affair
Artists: Aquarela (Philippines)
Price: Rp75,000 (excluding shipping fee)
Description: If you wonder what could appear from the combination of French and Philippines, the result could be bossa nova! Real life and stage couple Miguel and Evelyn Juteau has been active in the Filipino music scene since 1997, but only about 10 years after they released their debut album entitled “Bossa Nova Affair”. This album will melt all bossa lovers particularly those who look for the authentic bossa touch along with the romantic, relaxing and cool-tropical breeze tunes. Aquarela brings back the reminisicence of those golden moments when bossa was just got its breath of life. The combination of Miguel and Evelyn are just beautiful, it will remind you of João and Astrud Gilberto’s classic duets. What makes it even interesting is the way Miguel added some Spanish flamenco guitar playing here and there without loosing up all the sacred essence of the authentic bossa. If you love the smooth, relaxing and seducing classy bossa nova, this album is really a must.

Description: Tohpati continues his rockin’ path by establishing a new group of three named Supersonic. With full spirit of youth, together with the young bassist that usually plays fusion Kristian Dharma and the alumni of Indonesian Idol season 2 Glenn Waas he brought energetic, upbeat and fast. That’s probably the reason of why he chose Supersonic as the name. Interestingly, this album shows a redline with Tohpati’s early career through one of the track titled “Khayalanku”. This one was a big hit in the early 90s in his former band Halmahera.
