American Poet Jimmy D. Robinson Shares His MIND JUICE CD with Enthusiastic Brazilian Fans in Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro. Robinson’s Label, J Music Group, Announces International Dance Remix Project for Lead Poetry MIND JUICE Track – “A Tiny Shoe”

Celebrated American poet and lyricist Jimmy D. Robinson pours out his MIND JUICE on the world-at-large. On August 15, following in the footsteps of Mikhail Gorbachev, Michael Jackson and actor Christopher Lambert, Robinson visited Rocinha, the largest favela (ranch) in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Robinson received a “rock star” welcome from Radio Brisa and thousands of local fans, as he generously handed out a truckload of MIND JUICE CDs. Brazilian photo journalist Ivone Perez was on hand to capture the whole experience.

As I handed out MIND JUICE CDs to the great Brazilian people in Rocinha, I realized, as always, that giving art and music is the greatest gift on earth. Nothing pleases me more than to express gratitude to the people of Brazil and their beautiful land, which has inspired so much of my poetic art throughout the years.
The inspirational and uplifting MIND JUICE CD is a collection of modern poems penned by Robinson, narrated by actor James Randolph and set to music by Grammy nominated Bruno Linares. The MIND JUICE spoken word/music CD emanates from the first book of Robinson’s sixteen-book poetry collection.

News Image “I wrote the MIND JUICE poetry book when I was young, homeless and going through many tough times,” states Robinson. “As I handed out MIND JUICE CDs to the great Brazilian people in Rocinha, I realized, as always, that giving art and music is the greatest gift on earth. Nothing pleases me more than to express gratitude to the people of Brazil and their beautiful land, which has inspired so much of my poetic art throughout the years.”

Robinson’s lead poetry track on MIND JUICE, “A Tiny Shoe,” will be reproduced into a dance floor remix package with world-renowned producers DJ Tracy Young, Josh Harris and Bruno Linares. Each remixer creating their own spin on “A Tiny Shoe” for dance floors, Young, Harris and Linares will break walls and consciousness with innovative production work and edgy inventiveness. These musical geniuses have been instrumental in producing and remixing for the biggest names in the business including Madonna, Stevie Nicks, Gloria & Emilio Estefan, Alannis Morrisette and Cyndi Lauper. The “A Tiny Shoe” dance remix package will be shipping to clubs everywhere and become available for purchase this September. The remix project will soon be available at Perfectbeat.com and Best Buy as well as other online and retail outlets.

For several years, Robinson’s highly praised poetry books have been gifted to presenters and nominees at the Grammy Awards, the Radio Music Awards, the American Music Awards, and the Latin Grammy Awards.
