http://linktvstore.org<img src='http://files.linktvstore.org/images/71280/maracatuniversal.jpg'>Nation Beat has created a fresh compelling new sound. The Nation Beat transcends borders, musically and literally; they're the first American group to record in Brazil with the legendary Maracatu Na&ccedil;ao (&quot;nation&quot;) Estrela Brilhante (&quot;brilliant star&quot;), led by Mestre Walter and rhythm master Jorge Martins. Effortlessly swinging from gritty 'Nawlins funk, through jazzed-up new songs and traditional tunes, to the huge sound of a Brazilian bateria, improvising and telling their own story through it all, The Nation Beat is making 21-st century music for one nation under a groove!Thu, 04 Dec 2008 15:59:00 -0600http://nationbeat.linktvstore.org/#album_71280
