Continental/Lion, 1973. New Copy ... $5.99 16.99
Massively heavy sounds from A Bolha – a Brazilian group who were previously known as The Bubbles, and backed up Gal Costa during the Tropicalia years – but who work here in a fuzzy, bassy groove that's totally great – definitely an heir to the headier sounds of the UK scene at the ...

Aquarius —
Aquarius ... LP 
Continental/Vampi Soul (Spain), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Breezy genius from 70s Brazil – a set that has some fantastic harmonies over really groovy instrumentation – but all at a level that's very different than other Brazilian groups of this nature! Aquarius often use both male and female voices, layered in ways that are more complex than ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Victor Assis Brasil —
Victor Assis Brasil Toca Antonio Carlos Jobim ... LP Quartin/Continental (Brazil), 1970. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A fantastic album from this legendary Brazilian saxophonist – and one that's way different than the usual instrumental reading of the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim! The setting is less of a bossa-inspired one than a post-Coltrane mode – as Victor Assis Brasil blows alto sax, and a bit ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Second pressing, on Continental. Cover has light ringwear and a small sticker. Vinyl is great!)
Continental/Discobertas (Brazil), 1955. Used ... $33.99
A gem of a record from the pre-bossa years in Brazil – a set that's not just noteworthy for rich vocals from Elizeth Cardoso, but also for some early arrangements by Antonio Carlos Jobim! Jobim scored the whole set – and while the style is quite different than his later bossa material, ... read more CD
(Out of print and sealed.)
Continental/Mr Bongo (UK), 1972. New Copy ... $11.99
A beautifully groovy album from Celia Reis – maybe the hippest set ever from this Brazilian singer who was equally at home in samba and bossa modes! Production and arrangements are by Arthur Verocai – which will give you an idea of the creativity that went into the record – as ... read more CD
Also available Celia ... LP 25.99
Continental/Mr Bongo (UK), 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $25.99 27.98

Erlon Chaves —
Sabadabada ... LP Continental (Brazil), 1965. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
An excellent lost batch of pop arrangements from 60s Brazil! Erlon Chavez was one of the country's more unusual musical talents – and although he did straighter work for big singers like Elis Regina, his own albums are filled with nicely off-kilter jazz and bossa tunes, and plenty of nice ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Renato De Oliveira Em Tempo Quente —
Made In Brazil ... LP Continental (Brazil), 1968. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Lively instrumentals with lots of cool twists and turns – mostly upbeat, and packaged with a very cool vintage photo of Rio on the cover! LP, Vinyl record album
Olivia Hime —
Estrela Da Vida Inteira Manuel Bandeira ... LP Continental (Brazil), 1986. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Olivia Hime sings vocals on a number of tracks that were written with music by Manuel Bandeira, in collaboration with other Brazilian artists like Toninho Horta, Ivan Lins, Wagner Tiso, and others. The highlight of the album is a great reading of Joyce's "Berimbau", done with all the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Continental/Weekend (Germany), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $43.99 49.99 About April 26, 2024 (delayed)
A tremendous little album from Joyce – a rare session originally only issued in Italy, recorded in a folksy style that's a bit different than her other work! Tracks are all pretty short – many under 2 minutes long – and feature spare guitar, percussion, and lovely vocals from ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tim Maia —
Tim Maia Ao Vivo ... CD Continental/Warner (Brazil), 1992. Used ... Out Of Stock
Later live work from the legendary Tim Maia – and like many Brazilian live dates of the time, a record that really helps Maia find the classic footing of his older albums! The backings are somewhat modern, but the liveness and spontaneity makes the record one of the most freely-flowing that ... read more CD
Martinha —
Como Antigamente ... LP Continental (Brazil), 1974. Very Good- ... Out Of Stock
Sweet 70s pop from Martinha – a Brazilian singer with a wonderfully breathy voice! The album's a bit like some lost French session from the time – string-laden, but never in a cloying way – and often put together with a sliding sort of feel in the background, so that Martinha's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover has edge wear with tape remnant, center splits on the spine & bottom seam, tiny peel from sticker removal, aging.)
Osmar Milito —
Viagem (180 gram pressing) ... LP Continental/Elemental (Spain), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Gentle, breezy, and wonderful – a rare 1974 album by Osmar Milito, a Brazilian arranger of the post-bossa era, and a mad talent with a bit of a dark edge! The record takes all the airy brilliance of the previous Brazilian generation, and moves it forward with a different sense of space and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Novos Baianos —
Novos Baianos FC (180 gram pressing) ... LP Continental/Polysom (Brazil), 1973. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A great 70s album by Os Novos Baianos – a wonderfully youthful group that was one of the bright spots in Brazilian music after the Tropicalia years. The band had a style that mixed folksy percussion with honest personal songwriting, plus occasional touches of elements gleaned from the larger ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Olodum —
Best Of Olodum ... CD Continental (Brazil), 1980s. Used ... Out Of Stock
An excellent collection of work by this legendary Bahian percussion group! The band are legendary – and have probably been one of the biggest Brazilian acts to tour the American circuit over the past few years. The stuff on this set features the band at their best – without any of the ... read more CD

Continental/Mr Bongo (UK), 1973. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $25.99
Moody instrumental magic from Hareton Salvanini – an artist with an Italian sounding name, and an approach that reminds us of some of the hippest composers of the sound library and film score scene in Italy during the 70s! The album's all instrumental, and is almost a soundtrack for a film ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Secos & Molhados —
Secos & Molhados (1973) (180 gram vinyl) ... LP Continental/Polysom (Brazil), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A Brazilian rock classic! The band had a very sophisticated sound that mixes nice vocal production with spare arrangements supported by guitar, piano, and bass.

Continental/Polysom (Brazil), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 44.99
One of the key records that helped cement the Tom Ze legacy back in the day – a set that's unlike any other work of the period from other Brazilian artists – including some of Ze's earlier contemporaries in the Tropicalia scene! There's a great mix of styles going on ranging from some ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
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
Tom Ze —
Todos Os Olhos (180 gram vinyl) ... LP Continental/Polysom (Brazil), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
One of the most legendary albums from groundbreaking Brazilian music pioneer Tom Ze – and a record that introduces itself with an equally legendary cover image! (Hint: that's not an eyeball on the front.) Ze had already been recording a bit by the time of this record – but this set is ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Continental/Elemental, 1973. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $26.99 28.99

Rota-Mar ... CD Continental/Altercat (Germany), 1983. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A beautiful little record from the Brazilian scene – served up by a trombonist who's got a great ability to mix Brazilian rhythms, jazzy grooves, and American soul! The approach is one that you might recognize from contemporary trombonist Raul DeSouza, who moved to the US in the 70s, and cut ... read more CD
