Protect the Truth

“You don’t always die from tobacco, sometimes you just lose your lung. Oh, you don’t always die from tobacco, sometimes you just snip out your tongue…” A cowboy sits in the middle of a busy street and sings, using a voice box (because he has a hole in his throat). This provocative ad is an example of the type of persuasive tactics that the Truth embeds in its campaign. The Truth is the largest youth smoking prevention campaign in the U.S. and it has become a popular success story that educates society about the tobacco industry and the effects of smoking through advertisements.

Unfortunately, it has been financially in jeopardy since 2003. The purpose of the newsletter is to inform the public about the future of truth campaign and consequences of the loss of funding. We are engouraging the users of the medical information websites, such as webmd.com and cdc.gov, to donate to the organization as well as to show their support by submitting their signatures on our website.

Well-Known Composer Jovino Santos Neto Releases Solo Piano Album

Three time Latin Grammy nominee composer Jovino Santos Neto is pleased to announce the Spring 2013 release of his 10th CD and his first solo piano album. This album is the fourth volume in Adventure Music’s Piano Masters series, and it was recorded live on the famed Fazioli Concert Grand Piano. The album is an exquisite collection of Jovino’s uplifting compositions-they were spontaneously created at the moment of the recording.

Jovino’s solo piano album stands out from the crowd with its unique blend of music styles. Inspired by a Brazilian legendary composer, Hermeto Pascoal, Jovino has found an unparalleled harmony of his own. His music is truly diverse, intensely rhythmic, and full of adventure. “I like music that breathes and has movement to it” says Jovino Santos Neto.

Jovino is an accomplished musician and composer in his own right and has fused traditional Brazilian rhythms and contemporary harmonic languages in his albums such as Canto Do Rio (2003), Roda Carioca (2006), and Live at Caramoor (2008), which earned him Latin Grammy nominations. He is currently based in Seattle, WA and was inducted into the Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame in 2012.

Jovino’s album, Piano Masters. Vol 4, is available on Barnes & Noble, and Amazon. For more information, please visit www.jovisan.net.
