David Byrne waited a full decade before giving the world a follow up to his original Beleza Tropical collection of funky Brazilian music – yet during that time, it's also clear that he learned a lot more about the scene – and was able to pick up on some very hip artists who were much ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Joao Donato —
Quem e Quem (Brazilian pressing) ... CD 
EMI/Odeon (Brazil), 1973. Used ... $14.99
A gem of a record – one we wouldn't part with for anything! Joao Donato's best known as one of the founding fathers of bossa nova – better known for his 60s work over the years, than he was for 70s electric work like this. Fortunately, international groove hounds picked up on the ... read more CD

Stan Getz & Astrud Gilberto —
Getz Au Go Go ... LP Verve, 1964. Very Good- Gatefold ... $9.99
A beautiful dreamy album that's quite different from the classic Getz/Gilberto collaboration – but which also shares much of that set's lyrical beauty! This album was recorded live, in 1964, when Stan Getz was playing with his quartet that included Gary Burton on vibes – an incredible ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Look To The Rainbow ... CD Verve/Universal (Japan), 1965. Used ... $13.99
One of the moodiest Verve albums from Astrud Gilberto – a set that has some surprising arrangements by Gil Evans – working here on one of his few 60s dates with a singer! Astrud's blue-tinged vocals work perfectly with Evans' backdrops – and Al Cohn also takes over the helm on ... read more CD

Pedra Do Espia ... CD Jam (Brazil), 2001. Used 2 CDs ... $24.99
Wonderful jazziness from Brazil! This group has a sound that's beyond compare – influenced clearly by the 70s work of Hermeto Pascoal, but much more tuneful, light, and dancing – vocals blending with piano, percussion, and a host of angular reed instruments! The sound is incredible ... read more CD

A great live set from Azymuth – recorded in Rio in 1979, with a harder, more open feel than most of their studio work of the time!

Tom Ze —
Estudando O Samba ... LP Continental/Mr Bongo (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 27.98
A record with "samba" in the title, but a set that hardly sounds like samba at all – given that the record is one of the groundbreaking 70s albums from the legendary Tom Ze! Ze first rose to fame as an experimentalist in the Tropicalia scene – but here, he's years past that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tim Maia —
Tim Maia (1977) ... LP Mr Bongo (UK), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 27.98
70s soul from Brazil – and a tremendously strong effort from the legendary Tim Maia!

There's a really focused sound ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Arthur Verocai —
Arthur Verocai ... LP Mr Bongo (UK), 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $26.99 29.99
Sweet and jazzy pop from early 70s Brazil – a great little album that we'd rank with our favorites by Marcos Valle and Edu Lobo!

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
Banda Black Rio —
Maria Fumaca ... CD Atlantic/Mr Bongo (UK), 1977. New Copy ... $9.99 11.98

Mario Castro Neves —
Mario Castro Neves & Samba SA ... LP RCA/Mr Bongo (UK), 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 29.99
One of the more obscure Brazilian harmony bossa albums of the 60s – yet a set that we'd put right up there next to our favorite work from Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 – and maybe some of the even groovier acts recording down in Brazil! Mario Castro Neves is best known as a piano ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Rubinho E Mauro Assumpcao —
Perfeitamente – Justamente Quando Cheguei ... LP Tapecar/Mr Bongo (UK), 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 30.99
A bit trippy, a bit groovy – and a very compelling little set from the Brazilian duo of Rubinho & Mauro Assumpcao! At one level, the record's got an earthy feel that matches the cover image of the pair climbing out of a tree without their shirts on – but at another level, there's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Deodato —
Whirlwinds ... LP MCA, 1974. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $3.99
Sweet keyboard soul from Deodato – a set that steps off nicely from the strengths of his big hits on CTI, hitting a similarly flowing groove that's really great! The instrumentation here is a bit more expanded than before, but never in a way that buries the keyboards – and Deodato's ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Egberto Gismonti —
No Caipira ... LP Odeon/EMI (Brazil), 1978. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
One of Egberto Gismonti's fantastic records from the seventies, and is waaaay better than anything he did for an American label. It's a wild mix of strident jazz and odd "experimental" moments, with a lot of joy and a lot of wonderful emotions running through all the tracks. The album's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Goldenwings ... CD Milestone/BGP (UK), 1976. New Copy ... $8.99 12.99
An excellent bit of lost Brazilian fusion Hugo and Jorge Fattoruso, produced by Airto Moriera!
