Check it out

"Javaland picks up where Dionisio's 1994 debut Afro-Brazilian Rhythms left off: Brazilian-seasoned songs of the African diaspora. Here, however, the proceedings are tighter, yet more diverse. A veteran of Austin's lively international music scene, Dionisio's vast experience, fueled by an engaging personality, serves the tropical troubadour well...No sophomore slump here, just a genuine international talent and first-rate bandleader."

"[Antonio Dionisio and MMR's music] is exemplary of the beauty, variety and sophistication of Brazilian music."
Michael Crockett, DJ KUT 90.5 FM
Austin, Texas

"MMR features traditional Afro-Brazilian instruments such as the cuica, pandeiro, moringa and caxixi, and offers a jazzy rendition of some old and new Brazilian rhythms. Add to that expressly Brazilian guitars, keyboards, bass, sax, flute and vocals. MMR is unique, it's cultural, and any audience anywhere would be happy, and culturally enriched, to be able to see this band live, and we in Texas are no different."
James Polk, musician and scholar
