It's an honour to have Karin Plato's album "This Could Be The One" named as one of the "RECORDS TO DIE FOR 2020" by Stereophile magazine / Mr. Robert Deutsch.

"Like all great singers, she has the ability to make each song sound as if it were written for her and, given that she wrote most of the songs on the recording, we can be sure that they were written for her." ~ Mr. Robert Deutsch.

Congratulations to Karin Plato !!! We are always your #1 fan !!!

And indeed, Vinyl lives !! ~

Some of Arioso Cafe - Bossa Nova Espresso connoisseurs around the world.

Most of you who have been to our store, you know that we love coffee and we roast our own coffee.

Sourced from South & Central America, our medium roast espresso is full bodied with flavor of caramel and nuts. It's smooth and balanced. While more and more customers ask to buy our coffee, we have branded our own blend - Bossa Nova Espresso.

Why Bossa Nova? Bossa Nova is a style of Brazilian music which is a lyrical fusion of Samba and Jazz and it literally means "New Trend" or "New Wave". And it perfectly reflects the taste of our blend.

Next time when you visit us, please make sure you ask to taste our coffee. It's free and it's delicious ~

Our first Arioso record is out !!!

The brainchild of conductor Jeffrey Tseng of the Vancouver Brock House Orchestra, our goal is to invite the world to listen to the extraordinary musical talent offered by Canada’s hidden gems.

Our first album - "This Could be the One" by our very own Vancouver Jazz vocalist/composer Karin Plato, also Canadian Juno nominated Jazz vocalist.

Karin describes the songs and themes as "characters" many of us meet in our life journey. Some of the songs are more related to a feeling or an experience and some are more desirable than others. We may ­find ourselves savouring a hot summer day, breezeless and calm, fi­lled with the scent of sweet flowers. On occasion we meet identifi­able characters: insomnia, love. There may be a loss where sadness envelopes the heart or the opposite may take place; true happiness. It’s all a part of the beautiful game of life.

Every step along the way from the recording, engineering to production, Arioso music insists to have everything proudly made in Canada and in 180g audiophile quality premium limited edition white vinyl.
