Ithamara Koorax —
Love Dance – The Ballad Album ... CD 
Milestone/JSR, 2003. Used ... $1.99
A relatively mellow vocal outing from Ithamara Koorax – a voice that was introduced to us from her appearances on some groovy Brazilian dancefloor tunes, including some of those from Dom Um Romao's albums! The style here is quite different – very laidback, and in the ballad mode you'd ... (Vocalists, Brazil) read more CD

Samba Raro ... CD Trama (Brazil), 1999. Used ... $5.99
Funky samba and modern beats collide in this great set of tracks by Max De Castro – a newer gem on the Trama label, with a similar spirit to the label's debut by Otto, and recent work from Brazil in the modern samba soul vein!

Peri —
Samba Passarinho ... CD Baticum (Brazil), 2005. Used ... Just Sold Out!

Chico Buarque —
Meus Caros Amigos ... CD Philips (Brazil), 1976. Used ... $14.99
A wonderful mid 70s album by Chico Buarque – proof that he was still one heck of a songwriter, and a pretty decent singer, despite the fact that he'd grown a silly-looking moustache! The production's very nice, too – with that excellent compressed sound that was being used on some ... read more CD
(Out of print and sealed.)
Antonio Carlos Jobim —
Urubu (CDr pressing) ... CD Warner, 1976. Used ... $4.99
Brilliant 70s material by Antonio Carlos Jobim – one of his key sets from the middle part of the decade that had the composer really deepening his approach to both singing and songwriting – moving past some of the more instrumental modes that he was using at the start of the decade! ... read more CD

Johnny Alf —
Johnny Alf ... CD Eldorado (Brazil), Early 1960s. Used ... $7.99
Nice reissue of some of Johnny Alf's rare bossa nova sides from the mid 60's!

His sound is warm and ... read more CD

Nana Caymmi —
Nana Caymmi (Em Buenos Aires) ... CD RGE (Brazil), 1973. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A lost session by Nana Caymmi – recorded in Buenos Aires in 1973, with a great style that makes the record one of her best from the 70s!

Chico Buarque —
Chico Buarque (1984) ... CD Philips (Brazil), 1984. Used ... $8.99
An overlooked gem from Chico's mid 80s period – a record filled with strong and subtle songs, often backed by some nicely jazz-tinged arrangements from Cristovao Bastos!

Baden Powell —
Tempo Feliz ... CD Forma/Polygram (Japan), 1966. Used ... $8.99
A really beautiful early album from Baden Powell, and a really unique one as well – as the set features some guest work from harmonica player Mauricio Einhorn – a very jazzy talent who was a bit like the Toots Thielemans of Brazil at the time! The combination of harmonica and acoustic ... read more CD

An album of pure genius – easily one of the greatest Brazilian albums ever, and a landmark set from the Tropicalia years!

Nossos Momentos ... LP Philips (Brazil), 1982. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $7.99

Getz Au Go Go ... LP Verve, 1964. Very Good Gatefold ... $11.99

Jazz Samba Encore! ... LP Verve, 1963. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $59.99
