Agustin's acoustic guitar is the main instrumentation on the set – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Les Treteaux (France), Early 1970s. Very Good+ ... $14.99 19.99
A relatively obscure set, but one that's got some great samba soul killers and some sweet bossa numbers too! The styles change a bit from track to track – and a few have a singer in a Jorge Ben style, while others are instrumentals – with solo organ, tenor, or guitar, depending on the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has two bumped corners, but is nice overall.)
Som Livre (Brazil), 1977. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A straighter album than some of the early experimental work of Jards Macale – but maybe a greater album as well – and one that really shows the singer coming into his own, and finding a way to nestle his fresh ideas within the best settings of 70s MPB! The shift's a bit like the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Includes the insert. Cover has a peeled spot from sticker removal at the top right, some edge wear, lightly bent corners, and an inscription in pen in back.)
Racional/Seroma (Spain), Late 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 26.00
The very obscure third volume in the legendary Racional series from Brazilian soul legend Tim Maia – and like the other two, a record that really furthers the rich legacy of music he'd begun at the start of the 70s! There's a very righteous vibe going on here – music that soars for the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Polydor (Brazil), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99
The incredible first album by Tim Maia – Brazil's greatest soul star in the 70s, and for good reason too – given that Tim was one of the few who could match the depth of American soul and funk at the time! Yet the music here is way more than just a Brazilian version of American soul ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Beautiful heavy vinyl pressing – with lyric insert!)
Polydor/Polysom (Brazil), 1971. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $39.99 42.99
One of the funkiest records ever from Brazilian soul legend Tim Maia – and a set that also has him singing a bit of English language lyrics too! The groove here is that classic Maia blend of Brazilian roots with American funk and soul – echoes of forro or samba in some of the rhythms, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Beautiful heavy vinyl pressing – with lyric insert!)
Polydor/Polysom (Brazil), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 44.99
A great step forward for the legendary Tim Maia – working here in a style that's even tighter and more sophisticated than before – yet still equally filled with funk and soul! The arrangements are a bit bigger than before, and the production a bit more professional – but that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Beautiful heavy vinyl pressing – with lyric insert!)
Tim Maia —
Tim Maia (1977) ... LP Mr Bongo (UK), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 27.98
70s soul from Brazil – and a tremendously strong effort from the legendary Tim Maia! This record was Tim's first after an initial run on Polydor – and it shows Maia tightening up his groove even more, but still avoiding the slicker sounds of later years. There's a really focused sound ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Luaka Bop, 1970s. New Copy 2LP ... $25.99 27.98
Insanely great sounds from the legendary Tim Maia – easily the most soulful singer in 70s Brazil, and an artist with a heck of a strong ear for funk, too! The music here is an incredible hybrid of American soul and Brazilian elements – especially since some lyrics are in English – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tania Maria —
Tania Maria Live ... LP Accord (France), 1978. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A great live album from this fantastic Brazilian singer – never issued in the US! In the years before she came to America, and turned into more of a soul/fusion artist, Tania Maria was living in France, and recording some great material with a much more stripped-down feel than her later ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
180g, 2022. New Copy ... $12.99 28.99
A wonderfully warm, easygoing sort of record – one that's maybe in that same territory when a classic Brazilian singer of the 70s might hit some great mellow moments, but still work with this subtle edge that really hints at deeper currents below the surface! Instrumentation is a mix of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Jose Mauro —
Obnoxius (180 gram pressing) ... LP Quartin/Far Out (UK), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 29.99
An incredible treasure of Brazilian music – an obscure but landmark set from the great Jose Mauro, and one of the few records ever issued on the legendary Quartin label! There's a soaring brilliance here that easily matches the best early 70s work from Milton Nascimento and Edu Lobo – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
SBA (Brazil), 1959. Very Good+ ... $11.99 19.99
Dramatic work from Brazilian singer Maysa – a set that's nicely balanced between two generations – the later, cooler modes of the bossa generation, and some of the more emotive styles that had come before! Maysa's rich vocal approach makes her a key talent in the latter mode – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(60s Cartaz white label pressing. Cover is without the original plastic outer, and has lightly wrinkled corners.)
Atlantic, 1966. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $19.99 24.99
One of Sergio Mendes' most dreamy albums – quite different than both his vocal work with Brasil 66, and his smaller combo sides from Brazil! There's still a strong bossa component to the record – but the setting has Sergio's piano lines laid out over larger arrangements with a good ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono white label promo. Includes the Atlantic inner sleeve. Cover is in great shape, with a DJ Copy sticker in front.)
A&M, 1967. Very Good+ ... $11.99
The second album by Sergio and crew – and a real push forward for the group! The basic format of two-female harmony leads is still in place – but for some reason, this album gives a bit more of a nod to Brazilian roots than before, and really spices things up with an even more ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono tan label pressing. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Brandao/Sabura (Portugal), 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 39.99
A set that was originally issued in Portugal, but which carries forth a strong quality of Cape Verdean rhythms – which are then inflected with some nice currents of European funk! Instrumentation is electric, with lots of great keyboards and guitar lines – and although the lyrics aren't ... (Global Grooves, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Elenco (Brazil), Mid 60s. Very Good ... $49.99
A excellent set of instrumental bossa nova tunes by Roberto Menescal – one of Brazil's true musical geniuses of the 60s! The arrangements are bossa, but much more off-kilter than usual, with a weird edge, and groovy instrumentation, like vibes, that are not that common on Brazilian material ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing, with deep groove. Label and cover have a small bit of pen – and cover is missing the plastic outer sleeve, but looks nice overall.)
Continental/Elemental (Spain), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 29.99
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
Minas —
Num Dia Azul ... LP Blueazul/Mr Bongo (UK), 1983. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 30.99
A gorgeous album of Brazilian vocal jazz – a set that blends bossa roots, Brazilian jazz, and some of the sunnier touches you might find coming from Bay Area interpretations of the music in the late 70s/early 80s – such as work by Joyce Cooling or Viva Brasil! Patricia King handles the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Yellow Racket, 2022. Sealed ... $4.99 6.99
Brazilian singer Momo might well be taking the title of this album seriously – as the whole thing's got a nicely stripped-down vibe that's somehow even more powerful than before – like those mid 70s moments when Cateano Veloso dropped out some of the instrumentation, and let all the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Still sealed with hype sticker.)
EMI/Polysom (Brazil), 2006. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 44.99
Warmly mellow work from Marisa Monte – a record that's issued in conjunction with her samba-styled Universo Ao Meu Redor album, but which has a sound that's much more in keeping with her Memorias Cronicas E Declaracoes set from a few years back! The backings here are often mellow and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
