A Train congratulates Airto Moreira for his Latin Grammy Nominations.
Best Instrumental Album: ALUE, Airto
Airto Moreira has had such a powerful impact on the music world that Downbeat Magazine created a Best Percussionist category which Airto won over twenty times.
Grammy winner and world class troubadour Peter Rowan has just been inducted into the Bill Monroe Bluegrass Hall of Fame. As a former member of Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Bays and a torch carrier for bluegrass music in all of its forms, this is a wonderful and well deserved accolade.
