Sesac (Brazil), 2018. New Copy ... $16.99
One of the greatest albums in years from percussion Airto Moreira – a set that really lives up to the complex sort of grooves he first brought to our shores in the 70s! Airto's back home in Brazil for this set, and working with a really great lineup – a group that's heavy on acoustic ... read more CD
CTI, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $19.99
One of Airto's greatest records ever – a really hard hitting batch of tracks that mix sharp-edged fusion lines with some earthier Brazilian percussion touches – all in a way that nicely steps off of Airto's first few American releases, and warms the groove up with a nice dose of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Warner, 1977. Very Good+ ... $4.99
A lot smoother than most of Airto's other work – and almost more of a soul record than a jazz one – but also a great batch of grooves with a really spirited feel! Airto's percussion is still relatively up front in the mix, and smooth funky LA arrangements take the album to a warm ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a promo sticker.)
Buddah/Muzak (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... $22.99
One of Airto's best albums ever – and one that we never tire of hearing! There's a sublime quality here that steps perfectly right off of the percussionist's groundbreaking work with Quarteto Novo! Airto's joined on this set by Hermeto Pascoal – also from the Quarteto Novo group ... read more CD
Warner, 1979. Very Good ... $9.99
One of Airto's most polished records, and an album that we've really grown to love over the years! There's a pretty strong modern soul/R&B component to the album – but at the core, there's still a strong feeling for Brazilian rhythms, and the record's got a wonderfully warm Brazilian ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Crystal Clear, 1977. Near Mint- ... $9.99
World Pacific, Early 50s. Sealed Gatefold ... $14.99

Folkways, 1956. New Copy ... $12.99 16.99
Not the usual sorts of Brazilian songs that you might expect – no tight samba or bossa, but instead a batch of rootsy music from Bahia – all with rhythmic qualities that strongly inspired both later genres! Percussion is the strongest element on most of these tunes, but there's also ... read more CD
(Special limited CD – pressed up for us by the Smithsonian Folkways label. Comes with original cover artwork, and the CD also features a PDF file with the original liner notes and other materials from the original record release.)
Pointer (Brazil), 1985. Near Mint- ... $6.99

RCA (Brazil), 1973. Near Mint- ... $29.99
An incredibly groovy group – with a sound that's like a 70s take on the Sergio Mendes groove, all touched up with electric instrumentation on keyboards and guitars, but with a breezy vocal approach and some tight post-bossa rhythms! The group perform versions of some of the best Brazilian ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Nice Japanese pressing – from BMG/DMR!)
RGE/Discobertas (Brazil), 1964. New Copy ... $18.99
A set that's a bit mellower than some of the other 60s records by Brazilian organist Ely Arcoverde – but one that's still got a very groovy sound overall! As you'd guess by the "boleros" in the title, most tunes are ballads – slow-steppers with a great late nite vibe, which ... read more CD
Favorite (France), 2019. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $26.99
Completely Sublime work from Lucas Arruda – an artist we love more and more with each new record – and one that we can't believe isn't a huge global success by this point!

Silencio No Brooklin ... LP Rozenblit/Audio Clarity (UK), 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $14.99
A fantastic early album from Jorge Ben – and one that's also a bit obscure, given that it was one of the few that he didn't cut for Philips Records during the first decade of his career!

Wicked samba from Djalma Dias – served up with a nice undercurrent of soul on a few tracks, too! Waltel Branco handles the arrangements, and gives the record a great little groove – one that's a mix of percussive samba elements and fuller backings at points – very lively overall, ... read more CD
Sony/Epic (Brazil), 1984. Used ... $11.99
The cover definitely reflects that 80s origin of the album – but as usual with Djavan, there's a lot more depth here going on than most of his contemporaries ever had to offer! The singer's less a Brazilian artist than a global soul star – singing in Portuguese, but with a quality that ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
RGE/Discobertas (Brazil), 1987. New Copy ... $18.99
A late 80s album from Jorginho Do Imperio – but one that's got the same sharp samba vibe as similar records from a decade or two before! The production is great – mostly in that wide, echoey RGE Records mode – which allows the lively percussion, guitar lines, and chorus vocals to ... read more CD
Blue Thumb, 1970. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $69.99
A wickedly funky album from Joao Donato – quite different than his earlier bossa sessions, and recorded in LA with a sweet jazzy bounce! The album's overflowing with great keyboard work – and Joao plays both piano and organ, in a group that includes percussion from Emil Richards, who ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
RCA (Brazil), 1988. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Cap Latino/Discobertas (Brazil), 1969. New Copy ... $18.99
A different sort of record from late 60s Brazil – straighter pop, with a bit of jovem guarda instrumentation – but done with the Latin market in mind too, as all the lyrics here are in Spanish! Elizabeth is a pretty compelling singer – working with just the right hint of echo ... read more CD
RCA (Brazil), 1987. Very Good+ 2LP ... $3.99
... LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Barclay (Brazil), 1985. Near Mint- ... $1.99
... 12-inch, Vinyl record
EMI/Odeon (Brazil), 1974. New Copy ... $3.99
Sweet 70s grooving from Brazilian singer Eva – a bit of soul, a bit of easy, all styled together nicely by orchestrations from the magical maestro Gaya! Gaya's work here is similar to his best backings for other artists in the Blue Brazil generation – a mix of American pop, post-bossa ... read more CD
Top Tape (Brazil), 1975. Very Good+ ... $18.99
Despite the fact that this album says it contains "The Most Fantastic Brazilian Beating Groups", it fails to tell you who they are! Who cares, though – as the set's a great batch of batucada tracks, with very spare raw production that makes them all sound great. Titles include ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a small tear in the opening.)
Daybreak, 1972. Sealed ... $19.99
Sweet keyboard genius from the legendary Manfredo Fest – an early 70s effort that's got a really wonderful groove! The style here is a bit like some of the best CTI recordings during their early years with A&M – kind of an update of 60s bossa that features full, warm, jazzy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Sealed original pressing!)
Tabu, 1979. Very Good+ ... $19.99
An incredible batch of Brazilian fusion – cut by keyboardist Manfredo Fest, and one of the few records he ever waxed in the US during the 70s! The record mixes Fest's soaring Brazilian groove with a tight soulful set of arrangements by Jerry Peters – a bit club-oriented, with a similar ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo. Cover has a promo stamp and tracklist sticker on back.)
World Pacific, 1964. Near Mint- ... $14.99
One of the grooviest albums ever from pianist Clare Fischer – and one of the few to really get at the bossa nova spirit that's only hinted at in some of his other work! Clare's bossa touches had a great effect on other artists in the 60s – most notably Cal Tjader – but here, he's ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese pressing. Back cover has some light aging – but front looks great.)
Pablo, 1980/1981. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A late session from Ella – but a nice one! The setting is bossa – as you could guess by the title – and the music is handled with a smooth west coast Brazilian approach – arrangements by Erich Bulling, and players that include Oscar Castro-Neves, Paulinho Da Costa, Alex ...

(Out of print, back cover of booklet has a bit of pen.)
Festival (Brazil), 1965. Near Mint- ... $24.99
An overlooked set of samba jazz from the 60 – one that features three different groups, each with a very hip approach! The bulk of the album features the Aecio Flavio Sextet – a group that has some wonderful vibes and piano, used in ways that echo some of the best Elenco Records styles ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Beautiful Japanese reissue on Think – separate vinyl and cover!)
Solar/World Psychedelia, 1974. New Copy ... $4.99
A gem of a record from the same Pernambuco early 70s scene that gave us Lula Cortes, Ze Ramalho, Geraldo Azevedo, and Alceu Valenca! This obscure little set has lots of the earthier tones that showed up in work by the above artists – a style that mixes folksy touches with bits of psychedelia ... read more CD
Discos Continental/Polysom (Brazil), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
A bit of an oddball record from Walter Franco, and one we've really come to love over the years! Franco's clearly going for an experimental rock sound here – and while the hard jamming kind of works at odds against that at times, at others, the whole thing gels together nicely in a blend of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Som Da Gente (Brazil), 1981. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Sweet fusion from 80s Brazil – with guitarist Fredera, plus Pascoal Meirelles on drums and percussion, Jota Moraes on piano and keyboards, and Paulo Maranho on bass! Titles include "Musico Viajante/Revelacoes", "Um Boleresio", "O Horizonte Nos Olhos De Manu", ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
