Continental (Brazil), Early 60s. Very Good ... $24.99
A set of accordion-driven instrumentals from the dapper Chiquinho – a bit samba, a bit forro, and pretty lively throughout! LP, Vinyl record album

London (Brazil), 1965. Very Good- ... $14.99
Very nice album of hard Batucada tracks, recorded for London Records in Brazil, and with a similar hard feel to the label's classic Meirelles LPs from the time.

Verve, 1972. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A classic bit of jazzy fusion from Chick Corea and the legendary Return To Forever group that included Flora Purim and Airto!

Biscoito Fino (Brazil), 2017. Used 2CD ... $14.99
A nice little live set that follows off the same sort of energy as the studio album Estratoferica – which has Gal Costa coming across with a more youthful vibe than she's had in years!
