On Midday Music, today's selections almost all come to you from new (*NEW!*) recordings. Among the more picante novelties are a taste of Roberto Sierra's 2003 sinfonia "La Salsa," evoking dance music of the Spanish-speaking Caribbean, and a couple of Brazil-flavored, multi-guitar offerings from the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet and the Assad Brothers. For details on concerts I mentioned on air, and others I haven't yet, please see the list posted below.
