Barbès Records sent you a copy of Nation Beat's new album, Growing Stone.
We just wanted to know if the album had had any spins yet.
If you didn't receive a copy, please let me know, and I will send another.
Many thanks,

Nation Beat: Growing Stone - An Album From Two Americas
The American/Brazilian collective Nation Beat plays a 21st century mash-up inspired by Brazilian maracatu drumming, New Orleans second line rhythms, Appalachian music, funk and country-blues. They're the first American group to record in Brazil with the legendary Mestre Walter & Maracatu Nação Estrela Brilhante - and the first Brazilian band to perform with Willie Nelson who called Nation Beat "just a fantastic group".
After nine years of experimenting with Northeastern Brazilian music, Nation Beat has released an album that is as deep as their mixed roots - and is their best album to date. Far from being a fusion album, Growing Stone is a record with a complete unity of sound and style. From forró to swamp rock, maracatu and funk - the rhythms are grounded by the musicians' own history and years of collaboration. The group is a regular of both merican and Brazilian festivals - and heir new release Growing Stone on Barbes Records should propel them to new heights.
