The first CD from the Music is Hope Foundation is the re-release of the 2006 Meninos Do Morumbi self titled album.
Proceeds from the sale of the CD go to help support the Meninos Do Morumbi school in Sao Paulo.
Over the past 13 years Flavio Pimenta and his Meninos Do Morumbi have educated and fed over 13,000 children, mostly from the Paraisopolis favela in Morumbi, Sao Paulo.

I recently dug my HHB CDR 850 out of storage and started using it again in my studio.
It’s a stand alone CD recorder and burner that still works perfectly after all these years. It has a really clean sound that I still like a lot.
HHB also made the awesome Circle 5 speaker’s that I have never stopped using in my studio. I think Mick Fleetwood still has his pair in Hawaii.
