Definitivamente ... LP RCA (Brazil), 1974. Very Good Gatefold ...
Out Of Stock
Fantastic 70s material by this unique Brazilian combo! The sound is perhaps a bit less funky than some of their other records, but the songwriting is excellent, and the production is top notch – in a way that opens up the voices and gives the record a lot more soul than usual. Filled with ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A mighty nice album from this legendary soulful samba duo! The record has them working in a warm 70s mode – with ensemble vocals helping out on a number of tracks, and some electric instrumentation under the acoustic cuica, cacaquinho, guitar, and percussion of the samba arrangements. Luiz ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Argentinian pressing in a textured cover, with some heavy edge wear, bent corners, and some marker at the top left corner.)

Mudei De Ideia ... LP RCA/Mr Bongo (UK), 1971. New Copy (reissue)...
Out Of Stock
An amazing bit of Brazilian funk – and the best album ever by this exciting soulful duo! The record's their first, and it's got a crackling intensity that you don't always find on their other albums – a groove that mixes hard samba with bass-heavy funk, with a sound that makes them one ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
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 moreLP, Vinyl record album
Gal Costa —
Profana ... LP RCA (Brazil), 1984. Near Mint- ...
Temporarily Out Of Stock
A warmly jazzy album from Gal Costa – much more so than you'd expect from her slightly creepy white face on the cover! There's a fair bit of keyboards in the instrumentation – usually stepping around with a relatively mellow feel, which lets Gal concentrate on ballads and gently ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Maria pays tribute to some of Brazil's greatest samba singers – in this hip set of tracks that's very much in the best samba revival mode of the early 70s. Titles include "Rala Rala", "Chega Pra La", "Cordas E Correntes", "Madrugada", "A Timidez ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Compositions by De Barro and Ribeiro performed by Almirante, Vassoourinha & Benedito Lacerda, Carlos Galhardo, Silvio Caldas, Caetano Veloso, Carmen Miranda, Dick Farney, and others. LP, Vinyl record album
A pretty nice little record from Jobim – one that builds on the larger orchestrations he was crafting during the 70s, working into a sound that's rich, warm, and a strong accompaniment for this film that starred Marcello Mastroianni. Oscar Castro Neves conducts the orchestra, and Jobim and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the coolest entries in the "dinner in" series from RCA – served up with lots of lively arrangements, and a nice mix of percussion and strings! LP, Vinyl record album

Lineatres ... LP RCA (Spain), Early 70s. Very Good+ ...
Out Of Stock
Fantastic work from Jayme Marques – the very hip Spanish jazz musician who had a real ear for Brazilian grooves – working here on a set of some of his best cuts for RCA from the early 70s! The set features Fender Rhodes, saxes, flutes, guitars, and plenty of percussion – and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
With Francisco Alves, Silvio Caldas, Carlos Galhardo, Mario Reis, Almirante, Lamartine Babo, Castro Barbosa, Patricio Teixeira, and Murillo Caldas. LP, Vinyl record album
(Early 90s issue. Cover has some wear and aging, some sticker remnants in back, and is lightly bent at the bottom left corner.)
A pretty darn sweet vocal session from the duo of Miucha and Antonio Carlos Jobim – recorded with lots of bossa overtones, very much the same spirit as the legendary Elis & Tom album of the mid 70s! Chico Buarque participates in the session, and Jobim even lends his vocal talents to a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original Brazilian pressing. Cover has some surface wear, tiny stickers.)
(Blue label pressing. Cover has minimal wear, spot of pen on the back.)

Pra Sempre ... LP RCA (Brazil), 1976. Very Good+ ...
Out Of Stock
Funky samba with a jazzy touch – sung by the lovely Eliana Pittman, with a sweet 70s style that's a lot more mature than her 70s work. Many of the tracks mix together samba percussion with a sweeter electric style of instrumentation – in a mode that reminds us of the 70s work of ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Soulful samba from Eliana Pittman – with sweet 70s arrangements from Ely Arcoverde, Nelsinho, and Severino Filho! LP, Vinyl record album

$25.9929.99
One of the coolest records ever cut by Ze Rodrix, as you might guess from the image on the cover – very different than some of his more staid recordings on the Brazilian scene, and instead a very dynamic soundtrack that's full of funky moments! Ze's clearly got the bug of the American and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
As you'd guess by the title, Jorge has a playful style of singing – one that fits well with the bright samba arrangements of the set, full and large with bigger band backing over tight small combo rhythms. Titles include "Nega", "Bigorrilho", "Brigite Bardot", ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Tight orchestral material from Zaccarias, and featuring a set of bossa and samba groovers played by a heavy ensemble reed section. The multiple reed approach works well, and gives the tracks a good punch that while not sounding exactly like classic bossa, does make them groove in a swinging way. ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
