An estimated 1 million listeners, South of Spain & a confirmed listenership of 600,000 internationally on the Web, proved to provide an immediate global fan base, for trumpeter-composer-arranger Amante. In January 2008 AMANTE & THE VILLAGE BRASS won a Top 40 Nomination for "Best Instrumental Performance" at the first Annual FAME GAMES Music Awards in Malaga, Spain. AMANTE & THE VILLAGE BRASS have also been MAKING WAVES IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST,U.S.A. Recently featured on Entertainment Northwest, Spotlight Radio "105.9 THE WAVE". D.J. Chris Taylor comments: "The Herb Alpert influence is definitely present". AMANTE AND THE VILLAGE BRASS music is Easy Listening Instrumental (with a Latin flare) but may best be described as "Music From The Heart". It's old-new flavor is festive, bright and bold. . . Yet it is also sometimes enchantingly wistful & romantic. In all it's aspects the VILLAGE BRASS are versatile. "MIDNIGHT IN MADRID" started it all. Amante organized the Village Brass to reflect the warmth of this dream inspired song, and what emerged was a beautiful Spanish serenade. A velvet smooth love song with a haunting melody. It isn't actually about a time or place. It is a state of mind. A dream-world where the passion of music and romance fulfills your heart's desires. You are personally invited to sit back, relax and enjoy a colorful musical journey. Experience romantic Spanish serenades, simple songs of the villagers, colorful fiestas, and feel the soulful emotions of a Spanish guitar & trumpet, parroting the echoes of a high-desert ghost town. Dance along as Amante steps up the tempo and swings into a peppy jazz number. * [Digital Downloads are now availalbe at iTUNES, Rhapsody, Amazon and most all the other major sites.] CD's are also, now available, at thousands of Retail Music Stores (near you) across the Country.
