Spare, simple work from Djavan – the kind of soulful set that made him one of the most dramatic mainstream talents in Brazil at the start of the 80s – and one of the few of his generation to reach out to a larger global market! The album's got a very Milton Nascimento sort of vibe ... read more CD

Carmo ... LP EMI (Brazil), 1977. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

One of Egberto Gismonti's fantastic records from the seventies, and is waaaay better than anything he did for an American label.
