Tim Maia EP
LP (Item 621683) Luaka Bop, 1970s — Condition: New Copy
Insanely great sounds from the legendary Tim Maia – easily the most soulful singer in 70s Brazil, and an artist with a heck of a strong ear for funk, too! The music here is an incredible hybrid of American soul and Brazilian elements – especially since some lyrics are in English – and the grooves are often mixed together in a sound that's nice and fuzzy around the edges, with some slight psychedelic elements that makes the cuts a perfect fit for this Luaka Bop series! Yet Tim Maia's hardly a guy who can easily fit into any easy slot or series – because as you'll hear on this set, he's got a vibe that's all his own – a really wonderful approach that's different even from some of his hippest contemporaries in Brazil – and which has gone onto have influence on countless other generations of singers and musicians – including his nephew Ed Motta. This limited EP is a sampler single from the fuller album – which contains all these tracks – five titles that include "Que Beleza", "Quer Queira Quer Nao Queira", "Over Again", "Ela Pertiu", and "Let's Have A Ball Tonight". (Limited to 400 copies.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
