South American Way
   Home > About Us
Laura and Rick South American Way is our family business. We have been promoting Brazilian music on the web for years, but were frustrated with the difficulty of finding a good selection in North America at reasonable prices. We finally decided to become the sellers we were always looking for.

Rick Murphy is a veteran software engineer. He grew up in California, and later followed his career to the Midwest. Rick takes care of all web development, purchases, and order fulfillment.

"My goal is to create a store that I would like to find as a customer. Some of the music in our catalog has a list price of over $20 for a single CD. I wouldn't pay that much and I don't expect you to either."

Laura Dias was born and raised in Salvador, Brazil. Like many natives of Bahia, she grew up with music. She sang in a band, and toured with an Afro-Brazilian dance troupe. Her brother is an award winning composer and musician in Salvador. Laura helps with research and is responsible for all Portuguese correspondence.

"To market Brazilian music and culture has been a very pleasant experience; it's nice to know that people appreciate our artists."

We would like to hear from you if you have any feedback, are looking for something special, or just want to say bom dia. To send us an email, click the Customer Service link at the bottom of any page.
