Tempo Novo play mostly Brazilian music, which include bossa nova , many different types of samba, choro and other Brazilian styles. They also have their own compositions, to which they inject a Brazilian/Latin flavour. Their influences include of course a lot of Brazilian music, including music from Milton Nascimento, Gilberto Gil, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chico Buarque, Baden Powell....but also more traditional samba and choro composers sich as Noel Rosa, Cartola, Nelson Cavaquinho, Candeia, Pixinguinha, etc. and more recent Brazilian samba artists such as Jorge Aragao, Martinho da Vila, Seu Jorge, etc.

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE OLYMPIC GAMES ... 

    “Never underestimate the POWER OF DREAMS and the influence of the HUMAN SPIRIT. We are all the same in this notion: The POTENTIAL FOR GREATNESS lives within each of us.”

     ~ Wilma Rudolph - Olympic Champion

    Wilma Rudolph was born prematurely at 4.5 lbs., the 20th of 22 siblings;  Rudolph contracted infantile paralysis (caused by the polio virus) at age 4.  She recovered, but wore a brace on her left leg and foot (which had become twisted as a result) until she was 9.

    Wilma Rudolph was considered the FASTEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD in the 1960s and competed in two Olympic Games, in 1956 and in 1960.

    In the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome Rudolph became the first American woman to win 3 GOLD MEDALS in track and field during a single Olympic Games.

    Don't be afraid to TAKE RISKS Tempo!
     

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT RISK TAKING ...

    “The person who RISKS NOTHING,

    DOES NOTHING,

    HAS NOTHING,

     IS NOTHING,

    and BECOMES NOTHING.

    He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply

    cannot LEARN and FEEL and CHANGE

    and GROW and LOVE and LIVE.”

    ~ Leo F. Buscaglia

    MAN CANNOT DISCOVER NEW OCEANS UNLESS HE

    HAS THE COURAGE TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE SHORE!

    I AM RECORDING A NEW CD THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT RODNEY DANGERFIELD ...

    "I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest."

    "I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me."

    "I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap."

    "I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender."

    "My wife wants sex in the back of the car and she wants me to drive."

    "What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bees and he told me about the butcher and my wife."

    "This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the fruit-of-the-loom guys laughing at me."

    ~ Rodney Dangerfield

    A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY WASTED!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE HEART ...

    “The HUMAN HEART FEELS THINGS the eyes cannot

     see, and KNOWS what the mind cannot understand.”

    ~ Robert Valett

    ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK A HEART ~

    Tempo ~ Make It a GREAT DAY my friend!
     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF LOVE  ...

    "You will find as you look back upon your LIFE

    that the MOMENTS when you have REALLY LIVED

    are the MOMENTS when you have DONE THINGS

    in the SPIRIT OF LOVE."

    ~ Henry Drummond

    THERE ARE FOUR QUESTIONS OF VALUE IN LIFE.

    WHAT IS SACRED?  OF WHAT IS THE SPIRIT MADE?

    WHAT IS WORTH LIVING FOR, AND WHAT IS WORTH

    DYING FOR?  THE ANSWER TO EACH IS THE SAME.

    ONLY LOVE.

    My Dear Friend Tempo!
     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP ...

    "A FRIEND is what the HEART NEEDS all the time.

    Anyone can tell you IT WON'T HURT TOMORROW.

    But I'm here to LISTEN WHILE IT HURTS TODAY."

    A FRIEND IS SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS YOUR

    PAST, BELIEVES IN YOUR FUTURE, AND ACCEPTS

    YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE TODAY!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
