ARC connected MMM to a buyer from Brazil who purchased the collection.  He has an agent here in NYC who also organized the donation of 25.000 Brazilian recordings to our library when we created www.BrazilianMusicDay.org.  Needless to say we think he is a good guy and he is primarily interested in buying any large, non-classical collection - the bigger and better, the better.
