Wonderful music from Lucas Arruda – an artist who embraces some of the warmest, most soulful styles of Brazilian music from back in the 70s, but manages to deliver them with a crisp contemporary spin! There's a lot of vintage Azymuth-styled grooves here – wicked rhythms, excellent ... read more CD

Forca Bruta ... CD Philips/Dusty Groove, 1970. Used ... $8.99
A fantastically soulful album from Jorge Ben – one of his greatest records ever, and a key part of Brazilian music in the 70s!

Chega De Saudade (plus bonus tracks) ... CD Odeon/El (UK), Late 50s. Used ... $7.99
Pure bossa magic – and a wonderful illustration of why the early music of Joao Gilberto was so tremendous! (Actually, all of his music is tremendous, but that seems to be especially the case here!)

Thiago Nassif —
Mente ... CD Gearbox (UK), 2020. New Copy ... $9.99 14.99
A sharp blend of edgey guitar, offbeat vocals, and lots of other electronic elements – but still served up with plenty of warmth, thanks to the unique approach of Thiago Nassif! Nassif works here with contributions from Vinicius Cantuaria and Arto Lindsay – and in a way, his music is ... read more CD
Hermeto Pascoal —
Hermeto Pascoal & Grupo ... CD Som Da Gente/Happy Hour, 1982. Used ... $18.99
Proof that Hermeto Pascoal never stopped making dynamically creative music! The great Brazilian reed player was still going strong in the early 80s, a period when a lot of his other contemporaries were flagging a bit in their creativity – and as this great album from 1982 will show, Hermeto ... read more CD

Rubel —
As Palavras Vol 1 & 2 ... CD Mr Bongo (UK), 2024. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
A contemporary set, but one that may well be destined to become an instant classic in the world of Brazilian music – as the young Rubel has a way of embracing so many traditions of his culture, while also finding a way to move things forward boldly! The approach here is different than some ... read more CD

Pedro Santos —
Krishnanda ... CD CBS/Mr Bongo (UK), 1968. New Copy ... $9.99 11.98
A totally unique album from the Brazilian scene of the 60s – a set that was recorded right in the middle of the big Tropicalia years, but which has more of the earthier touches that would emerge in the Brazilian scene during the 70s! Yet there's also a sense of tight arrangement here too ... read more CD
Also available Krishnanda ... LP 26.99
Satwa —
Satwa ... CD Rozenblit/Mr Bongo (UK), 1973. New Copy ... $9.99 11.98
A tripped-out set of acid folk guitar from Satwa – featuring Brazilian psychedelic folk genius Lula Cortes, in a feel that's very much like his own great work of the time! Satwa is one of the sweetest sets of psych folk jams we've heard in ages – with a mostly-instrumental, wholly ... read more CD
Toco —
Riviera ... CD Schema (Italy), 2024. New Copy ... $18.99 22.99
Maybe the greatest album to date from Toco – warm, jazzy, and filled with all of the best influences from Brazilian music – served up with live instrumentation that brings even more soul to the music than some of the artist's sparer sessions! Toco since throughout, with this raspy ... (New Grooves, Brazil) read more CD

A really ear-opening set of music from the Portuguese scene of the postwar years – instrumental tracks that follow some of the stylistic developments of fado, but which often branch into wonderful sounds that are all their own! In a way, the set is a counterpart to the growth of flamenco ... (Global Grooves, Brazil) read more CD
