A rich new chapter in the career of Moreno Veloso – a set that steps off strongly from his work with the +2 trio, but in ways that are even more personal and poetic than before! The shift is a bit like that time when Caetano Veloso took all his previous experiments and found a more intimate ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

An amazingly beautiful album, recorded by Vinicius De Moraes, Dorival Caymmi, Oscar Castro-Neves, and The Quarteto Em Cy for some sort of a special show. Castro-Neves provides some excellent bossa backing, the Quarteto girls sing chorus and over the top, Vinicius does some recitations, and Caymmi ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Walter Wanderley —
Batucada ... LP Verve, 1967. Near Mint- Gatefold ...
$24.99
One of our favorite Walter Wanderley albums ever – and a record that moves past the more familiar bossa trio style used on his hits for Verve, into groovier new territory with added players who include Dom Um Romao on drums and Marcos Valle on guitar! And not only is the lineup expanded, but ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(MGM stereo pressing with Van Gelder stamp. Cover has light ringwear, in great shape otherwise with sharp corners.)
Great stuff from Walter Wanderley – and a refreshing change from his work on Verve! The record's dated 1968, but we're kind of guessing that the tracks date from earlier years – although we're not sure. Most of the material's as sophisticated as anything Walter was cutting in the US ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing, with the plastic outer sleeve with a split spine, surface wear & aging. Vinyl plays with some crackles.)
A really great meeting of talents – legendary reedman Sadao Watanabe, who'd already done plenty to bring the bossa nova to Japan by the time of this record – and a host of Brazilian musicians who further help him expand his groove! The combo is listed as Sadao's Brazilian 8 – and ... (Jazz, Brazil)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Non-gatefold pressing, with insert – YS 7505. Cover has some very light aging, and a small split on the top seam – vinyl is great.)
A collection of songs composed by Antonio Maria – with performances by Nora Ney, Dalva Torres, Expedito Baracho, Luiz Bandeira, and Claudionor Germano. LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the booklet. Cover has some ring and edge wear, lightly bent corners, and some remnants and peeled spots from sticker removal.)
Rare Brazilian funk from the early 80s – served up here on a range of tracks that originally appeared on Brazil's unique 7" compacto format at the time! The smaller records were the nation's equivalent to 12" singles up north – and most spun at 33rpm, which allowed more space ... (Funky Compilations, Brazil)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The legendary 1962 Bossa Nova concert at Carnegie Hall – and one of the first live recordings of the young bossa nova in all its glory! The concert is famous not only because it was a bit of a disaster (according to legend, just about nobody got paid!), but also because it brought together a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(80s Brazilian pressing. Cover has surface wear & a corner bend.)
A rare Brazilian soundtrack on Som Livre – one that features work recorded for this story set in the 50s, which gives most of the tracks a rock n roll-ish kind of sound, a bit like the jovem guarda work coming out of Brazil in the 60s. A few titles are covers of American pop or rock tunes ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has clear tape on the bottom seam, light surface wear & aging, a bit of pen on the back.)
Extremely compelling work by the team of Toquinho & Vinicius! The album's a soundtrack to the Globo TV show O Bem Amado – and it's one of a number of albums that were recorded for Brazilian soap operas during the early 70s, most of which (including this one!) feature rare work that didn't ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover has corner bends, light wear & aging.)
A great look at the post-Tropicalia scene in Brazil – as the set features artists who struck big at the 1972 Festival International Da Cancao – titles that include "Let Me Sing Let Me Sing" by Raul Seixas, "Mande Um abraco Pra Velha" by Os Mutantes, "Pente" ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
An excellent set of rare bossa tracks, all performed by artists related to the legendary scene that circled around the Paramount Theatre, one of Brazil's leading showcases for bossa material in the 60's! Includes versions of "Garota De Charme" and "Balanco Zona Sul" by Zimbo ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
